Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 5212
Change order of paths for template directories
Last modified: 2002-05-28 11:46:38 UTC
The paths for the document are setup in that way that the shared path is set before the user path. This has the effect when you want to work on a template and you choose File -> Template -> Maintenance (I hope this is the correct, because I'm using the German version, there it says Datei -> Dokumentvorlage -> Bearbeiten) the shared directory is shown. Then you have to go 'manually' to your user template directory. I think that most users want to work on their own templates and therefore the user template directory should be shown. I fixed that in my installation by switching the paths in the OOos options for template paths. Maybe this can be made a default setting?
reassigned to myself
I change the resolution to wontfix. Changing manually the entry for used template directory under Tools/Options/Path is the only way to work. During the Setup most users do not have own templates. OpenOffice can not know, where new created templates are stored and if this directory should be used. Possibly some users have several directorys, one for writer, one for spreadsheet and so on.
This is not practicable
