Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 111660
Field "File Name" does not accept format change
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:55:40 UTC
The menu options do show file name, path, path/file name or "file name without extension". But it is not possible to change the formatting: it's always "path/file name"
Where do you get "Path"? Please give a detailed step by step description.
How to reproduce it: First: use the Menu Insert > Fields > File Name This will insert the file name field to the page. Now do select this field object and press the right mouse button (Mac: ctrl+mouse) This will show various options, such as === Fixed Variable --- File Name Path/File Name Path File Name without extension === Selected and shown is Path/File Name. Neither Fixed nor Variable is marked. Selecting other options does not change the field behavior. Additional details: The feature does work in Writer, but not in Presentation. When you double click the field in Writer, it does open a dialog in order to change the formatting. When you double click in Impress, nothing changes. When you copy/paste it from Writer to the Presentation as a Writer's text object, it does no longer show the file name at all. However, copy/paste of e.g. the page number field does work. I'm not aware of any other choice how to copy/paste a field from Writer to Impress. But this looks like yet another broken detail.
Reproducible. Reassigned. Reproducible also under windows.
