Description Hans Gerstenkorn 2017-12-17 12:30:00 UTC
Description:
When double-clicking on the "image control" field, only image files are offered in the selection field and not all file formats specified in the description. The setting "Tools / Options / Open / Save Dialogue Boxes" has no influence on this. Therefore, no other (ods) documents can be linked. This only works if the path and filename are inserted directly into the text box.

I use: LO Version: 5.4.3.2 (x64); Win 10 Pro Ver. 10.0.15063

Note: With this operating system, all! File formats displayed (note from Robert)

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Dobble-click on the image-control field on the form.  
2.Than it opens an selection field only within image files.
3.

Actual Results:  
only image files were offered

Expected Results:
all files should be offered


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
The LINUX operating System (please see above) has no problems.
The setting "Tools / Options / Open / Save Dialogue Boxes" has no influence on this

Input any file, not only image. Works with Linux/KDE - no filter-value.

If using the dialogs of KDE in Linux there is offered to link all files to a database-field, not only images. Works here like the dialog for open a file, which also shows all files. But in that dialog the filter is named with "All Files".

There is no possibility in forms to save a path to a table except image-controls. The field for file-selection isn't connected to any data-field through the form. For this field you have to use macros to read the selected url and send it to the table of the database. 

I will set this one to NEW and enhancement.
