Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 22940
Autopilot-Presentation keeps track of nonexistent files
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:21:02 UTC
Open OpenOffice by accessing its Presentation component through the Start Menu in Windows. You should be within the AutoPilot Presentation function. Create a new empty presentation and save it. I have named the file "test" for this report. Close OpenOffice. Go to the directory where the file "test" was saved in, and delete the file. Open OpenOffice by accessing its Presentation component through the Start Menu in Windows. You should once again be within the AutoPilot Presentation function. Follow the "open existing presentation" option. The file "test" will be listed and if you click on it, you will notice that any attempt to preview the document will give you an error message: "Error loading the template: Nonexistent object. Nonexistent file." Double click on it and try to open the file itself; you will be given another error message stating that the file cannot be found. OpenOffice will automatically exit. Open OpenOffice again and repeat the steps above. The "test" file will still be listed. It would be appropriate if the file wasn't listed after the program attempts to preview/open it and an error is given.
Reassigned to Christian.
set to new and change the target
I can reproduce the bug. Please have a look.
the pilot uses the same service as the office uses for its list of recently used files. Andreas, can there be a general solution for this issue?
Sorry - but such solution wont help. Because we dont lock any file from this list on disk (which isnt possible for remote files like e.g. http in general). Between checking the state and clicking the menu item the file could be removed by any other process. On the other side we have to do such check everytimes the "File" menu will be opened. An in case there is e.g. a htp URL inside the picklist but no internet connection available .... may be we will run into the system time out. For windows this time out can be in range of 1-2 minutes. And there is no chance to break this operation then ... Thats why -> "WONT FIX".

quoting "as": > Thats why -> "WONT FIX". Then please someone change this bug's status from NEW. Thank you
set to wontfix
close issue.
