Filename when saving

TrippleDelta · June 10, 2021, 9:44am

Hi all,

I’m struggeling with this for a long time now.
When saving a file, open the destination folder, the filename changes into the first selected file in that folder. Why is that? I don’t want to replace the first file but save a new file. Should stay empty, keep my already entered name or leave it as untitled.

Please tell us your

Operating system
LibreOffice version
Desktop manager (KDE, GNOME, LXDE, Xfce, …), if you are on Linux
Storage device (local, disk, NAS server, cloud service) and
Setting of option Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> General -> Option: [ ] Use LibreOffice dialogs (or LibreOffice -> Preferences -> LibreOffice -> General -> Option: [ ] Use LibreOffice dialogs, if you are on macOS)

Why asking?: This doesn’t happen on my system using Linux, KDE Frameworks 5, system dialogs and LibreOffice (6.2.6, 6.3.6, 6.4.7, 7.0.6 and 7.1.4)

On Windows I presume? Have a look on Microsoft Forum, Changing file name when saving

Fixed when using system dialogs. I’ll keep it that way for now.

For the records: (according to OP’s last comment)

Use system dialogs by deactivating option:

Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> General -> Option: [ ] Use LibreOffice dialogs
