How to Import dialogs

I have 4 Dialogs saved to my Win10 desktop, Diloag1/xdl, ete. etc> Selecting ‘improt dialog’ to new ods opens the list of xdls but selecting ‘open’ does not import. LO 7.3.2.2.

What kind of dialogs are you talking about, with which app were they created? LibreOffice Basic. Not sure what the question means? How many sorts of ‘dialog’ are there in LO Calc?

See tdf#148661. Will be fixed in version 7.3.3.

Thanks, soko - a simple explanation! Any idea when and is there a 'work-around?

ReleasePlan 7.3. In 7 days.

If the next release is too far off, you might be able to hand-edit the xlb file and put the xdl’s in the correct file locations. In that way, they would show up under Standard in My Macros & Dialogs in your LibreOffice library.

In Ubuntu, you would put the HandAddedDialog.xdl in the directory /home/user/.config/libreoffice/4/user/basic/Standard. Then you would edit dialog.xlb in that same directory adding <library:element library:name="HandAddedDialog"/> right before the </library:library> closing tag. Then you have to restart LO.

Import XDL dialogs in Basic editor, not in Calc :slight_smile:

Store modules and dialogues in a dedicated library (not‘Standard‘) and export that library as an extension.

Thanks all, but I have re-loaded 7.2.6 until…
