Description Ming Hua 2019-09-11 09:58:53 UTC

Description:
When opening file from inside LO (as opposed to opening from the OS file manager), either from the start center, or from File -> Open... menu, or the open file toolbar button, has a dialog with a dropdown menu labeled "Version:", and the current version is the default.

However, changing the default to anything else doesn't seem to work, the opened file will always display the current version.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use one of the ways to open the attached ODT file, which has three different versions, from inside LO;
2. Choose "version 1" from the dropdown menu labeled with "Versions:";

Actual Results:
The file opens as version 3, the current version.

Expected Results:
The file opens as version 1, as requested.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I only tested this in Writer, and that's the component I'm reporting against.  However it may exists for other modules as well.

I can't confirm it. I could open version 1 as well as version 2

I can confirm with OS open files dialog.

But not with the LibreOffice dialog, with it works fine.

Ah yes, I indeed meant the Windows file chooser dialog when I said choose versions, not the LO native File -> Versions... dialog.

My word choice of "from inside LO" was trying to emphasize that one needs to use LO to open the file so that the file chooser dialog appears, instead of double-clicking directly from the Windows file manager.  In retrospect it was not a good choice, and probably caused more confusions than it was trying to clarify.

I do I show the version dialog?
When I open the file in

I don't see any version dialog while loading...

Comment 6 Xisco Faulí 2019-09-17 14:27:57 UTC

Ok, the version can be chosen in the import dialog...

Comment 10 Ming Hua 2020-01-07 12:02:49 UTC

FWIW, when using LO's native file chooser instead of the OS one (check the Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General > "Use LibreOffice dialogs" checkbox to enable), specifying intended version works.  This checkbox seems only available in 6.3 and higher though.
