Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 5427
Double click on document to open
Last modified: 2002-08-21 09:48:34 UTC
When double clicking on a document to open it in OOo, the document filename is trunkated to 8.3 format and the lonf filename is lost. If the document is then saved, it is saved with an 8.3 format filename. This does not happen when using Fhe File - Open command from within OOo.
Documents are stored on a central server running Windows NT with Novel network. Problem does not occure when double clicking on documents stored on local PC.
Reassigned to myself.
I knew the problem so far only with Win98 if a blank was in the path to the file. Is the name of a Server, Directory/Folder or File with blank?
Another Question: Is a blank in the installation path (e.g. in the name of drive/partition or Folder where the OOo is installed)?

Reassigned to myself. Your IT consultant is right, in the registry the pathes are incorrect, this is so far a known problem only with Win98 if a blank was in the installation path. I did not see yet in the described form. In any case, can we close this issue?
No answer since longer. The problem seems recognized and repaired. Therefore closed
