Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 70310
Paths go wrong in update
Last modified: 2006-12-19 15:18:16 UTC
My paths were as follows in OOo 2.0.3: Home dir: /home/magi/texts Templates: /home/magi/texts/templates After updating to 2.0.4rc3, they suddenly changed as follows: Home dir: /home/magi/texts/texts/ Templates: /home/magi/texts/texts/templates The same occurred on two different machines. Also, opening a new Writer document displayed an error box, because it could not find the custom default template. On the other machine, I could not get the templates directory to work in creating a new document from template, even after correcting the path. This is strange, because it worked just fine on the other machine. OOo was installed from OOo_OOD680_m5_LinuxIntel_install_fi_deb.tar.gz (Finnish version) to Kubuntu. Did not test with English version.
This occurred again when updating to OOE680_m4 from 2.0.4 release build. This possibly also caused corruption of all links to external images in Writer to go wrong. It occurred once, but now it again works just fine. Possibly it was the first document I opened, corrected the default path settings, and then the image links broke. Not sure. I'm using Finnish version from Pavel's builds under Ubuntu Linux. Don't know if that matters.
Problem was reproducible and has already been fixed in a more recent build
