Description Gabor Kelemen (allotropia) 2018-01-24 09:42:04 UTC

Screenshot of the template manager with an ott and a dotx template

We created some test template files in different formats: ott, ots, docx and xltx, then dropped them into the templates folder.

The template manager window hides the extension in case of the ODF ones and displays it in case of the OOXML ones.

I'm not sure if this is intentional, but I feel it is inconsistent UX.
Maybe it would be better to hide the OOXML-based templates extensions as well?

Can you elaborate?  (e.g., why?  what is expected behavior?)

fwiw -- with 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ -- templates saved in MS formats (e.g., .dot, .dotx, .pot, .potx, .xlt, .xltx) are also shown in Template Manager with file extensions.

(it is possible that the Template Manager designer wants to "highlight" that these templates are not in native ODF?)

Files with "old" extensions (.stw., .stc, .std, .sti) are not shown in Template Manager with extensions.

(is there a design doc for template manager?  - still trying to improve the documentation).

Dear Gabor Kelemen,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
