.odt and .ott in use
.ott used only for styles definitions (paragraph and character), no document content in template.
Styles are managed only in template.
I use Styles Spotlight when some problems arise with styles or with document, I use it to check
if the styles usage is as author expects it.

It is x-th week in sequence as the the use of Reload (File menu) in document open results in double-query to update styles. Before Reload one style was modified in template, it is a style which is used in .odt reloaded. In end-effect user needs to accept styles update in document twice every time such document reload is triggered by user. I guess that document closing and reopening will present same results, however no tests were made this manner.
What are possible reasons of style-update query to pop-up twice?

I experienced this double query, but I kind of think I was in a more complex context, something like template+master+sub docs. I checked it has no adverse effects and accepted it as a transient hiccup.

It may originate in having both the template and the document open simultaneously (use of File>Reload).

#3

Thanks for hint. This is what for sure applies in this case here locally - template and derived document are open at the same time. Otherwise the handling gets bit more cumbersome. Fortunately really cheap to check in a retest. Though can’t do it immediately. Will conduct retest and report as soon as possible.

#4

If you create a new document based on a template and keep You save that document as a template overwriting the original template

#5

Template exists, is open because sometimes style get modified.
Each single style modification is saved to file - Save while template file open.
Then going back to derived document which is also open, ensuring that all former document modifications are saved to file. Finally Reload in open document.
I did’t get how your statement maps to this proceeding.

#6

You can overwrite the original template (saving the document based on the template whit the same name and extension as the original template )

#7

I see. Thanks. Yeah, it can well be that this happened once in the past. Sure is, I can’t exclude it to had happened.

#8

I never create such a loop but I experienced the issue. I double check on next occasion and report here.
