Hallo.
I’m using LibreOffice Version: 6.0.4.2 under Linux OS in German language.
I also use Plasma, where I set to open paths with a single click. I want to open paths in file handling in LibreOffice modules (Writer, Draw, Calc…) with one (single) click also.
How can I achieve this? If not possible to explain for German menu and settings in LO, then at least English settings would be ok.
Thank you in advance.

Menu/Tools/Options/LIbreOffice/Security - Security options and warnings - options - Ctrl+click required to follow hyperlinks.
Sorry, but this doesn’t work for me, neither checked nor unchecked box:
“Menu/Tools/Options/LIbreOffice/Security - Security options and warnings - options - Ctrl+click required to follow hyperlinks.”
And yes, I closed LO and reopened it again. But in the right window with directory contents, I can’t open a displayed (sub) directory with a single click. I still need to double click.
Simple question: Why does LO not use the built in file manager (here in Plasma it is Dolphin) like Firefox does?
If you refer to the file picker, I think it’s not possible. If you look at Help → About LibreOffice you’ll see which VCL plugin is in use: most probably it’s either the gtk2 or the gtk3 one so you are basically using the gnome file picker on a Plasma environment, and gnome’s file picker does not offer a great deal of configuration options. Everything you can do to change the file picker behaviour is available on a right click, and as you can see, the options are really scarce.
I have Standard VCL: gtk3.
How can I change the file picker? I would prefer the built in Plasma Dolphin (or at least the behaviour of Dolphin) like Firefox does.
Sadly, you can’t. A Qt5/Plasma VCL plugin is in development, but it will take time. There is a kde4 plugin that sports a KDE file picker, but I do not recommend to use it: it’s loaded with problems (UI elements not being displayed, for example), so for now it’s the GTK3 plugin, even on Plasma.
