Description jmnbpt 2004-03-19 16:30:29 UTC 
Hi, 


I hate to be a pain (maybe this should be a "P9" priority...), but I found this
"feature" on OOo 1.1.0 running in Linux, and think it should be reported:

1) Create a stale symbolic link, e.g.:

        ln -s ./nonexistent yesitdoes

2) Bring up "Open file" dialog in OOo

3) A stale icon in the file list appears. Right-clicking and selecting "Delete"
cannot erase it.


Solution:

Open terminal emulator (xterm or other), and delete the blamed symlink. Perhaps
this requires OOo to recognize stale symlinks and not displaying them?

SBA: Component changed to Framework. Target set to OOo later. Reassigned to TM.
Comment 2 thorsten.martens 2004-06-15 09:33:36 UTC 
TM->BH: This might be a wish for an enhancement. By now OOo doesn´t have the
ability to scan and detect stale symlinks and avoiding displaying them.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
