Use LibreOffice Dialogs is missing

[oconomowoc]

I have the same problem as this person who wrote, “When I click the PDF tool to Export Directly as PDF, the default directory is wherever I last exported a PDF. This is unhelpful for me, I often forget to change the directory and PDF files end up in hard-to-find directories.”

Export PDF - default to same directory as ODT/DOC file

There is a discussion of this issue about OpenOffice. When I click the PDF tool to Export Directly as PDF, the default directory is wherever I last exported a PDF. This is unhelpful for me, I often forget to change the directory and PDF files end up in hard-to-find directories. I store files in folders by subject not by file format. I almost always want to store the PDF in the same directory where the editable ODT or DOC file resides. How can I make this the default?

The reply was to do this:
Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General > Open/Save Dialogs > Use LibreOffice Dialogs

But I do not see “Open/Save Dialogs” or “Use LibreOffice Dialogs” - see my screenshot:

I’m sure I saw it LibreOffice version 5. I have updated to Version: 6.0.1.1 (x64) and now it seems to be missing or has that option moved somewhere else?

Thanks

The option was indeed deprecated on LibO 6.0.

Thanks. If I understand that page correctly, these are the steps I should take:

1. Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Advanced > Open Expert Configuration
2. Search for: UseSystemFileDialog (Found under: org.openoffice.Office.Common > Misc)
3. Double click or Edit to change “true” to “false”
4. Click OK
