When opening a document, an empty document is created
Last modified: 2003-10-07 18:26:32 UTC
When OO_1.1b is running with no document opened (or with a non empty document opened). If you open a document from the desktop (or a terminal : swriter mydocument.sxw), the document is opened and an empty document is also created and brought to the front. When OO_1.1b is running with an empty document opened. If you open a document from the desktop (or a terminal : swriter mydocument.sxw), the document is opened and the empty document already opened is brought to the front.
Please try to find way how to reproduce the problem. if your problem only sometimes happend we have difficulty to confirm it is real problem or not. Please come back with more information. Thanks
Sorry, It wasn't a bug but a misunderstanding of the -writer switch. I think however that it could be changed. Problem/Feature. 1) Open Openoffice.org, leaving it running but with no document open. 2) Open an xterm in a directory with a swriter document (test.sxw) 3) If you type soffice test.sxw it works perfectly but if you type soffice -writer test.sxw OR swriter test.sxw Two documents are opened, test.sxw and an empty one Reason: this is normal since the -writer switch creates a new document. Proposition: I think that such a command line should just open the document and should ignore the switch.
SBA: Closed.
