Description seabassfishes 2018-03-22 22:52:35 UTC
Description:
If I press Cmd-O in Libreoffice and Cmd-A (select all files) in a folder with several documents, sometimes I will recieve one error message for each file I tried to open, with "The path /path/to/doc/doc1.doc/file:///path/to/doc/doc2.doc does not exist." Doc1 is the name of the first doc I tried to open, and Doc2 is different for each error prompt.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new document and save it in a new folder.
2. Duplicate the document a few times.
3. Press Cmd-O in LibreOffice.
4. Navigate to the folder and select all documents in it with Cmd-A.
5. Open.

Actual Results:  
As stated in the description, sometimes I get error messages and the files do not open.

Expected Results:
All selected documents should open at once.


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: No

No repro with LO6021.

1) Look for file string in Finder Search

2) In the list of displayed files Cmd-click to create a multiple selection of openable files.

3) Cmd-O to open the selected files.

4) All files opened successfully.

In my example, all of the files came from different folders.

Second test:

1) Open Finder
2) Select multiple files for opening within the same folder (12 files selected)
3) Cmd-O to open the files
4) All files opened successfully.

Third test:

1) From LO StartCenter, Cmd-O opens the Finder dialog.
2) Select multiple files from a directory.
3) Cmd-O to load the files (12 files).
4) All files loaded sucessfully.

seabassfishes: can you try with version 6.0.x?

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
