Description: I have a default template. It is wrong. I fix it I use the Save as template dialog to overwrite it. LO Writer saves it to a new name. Steps to Reproduce: 1. open writer - wrong template (e.g. 0Doc.ott) 2. fix template 3. save as template Actual Results: has created a new template 0Doc1.ott Expected Results: it should have overwritten 0Doc.ott If this is a safety feature, then it should rather rename the original (wrong) template. However, that would be inconsistent with the way Calc and Impress work.

It asks me "A template named test already exist in My Templates. Do you want to overwrite it?", but then the resulting file indeed gets "1" stuck at the end. Elmar: to clarify, is this how it happens with you as well? The original file disappears?

Buovjaga, yes, that is what happens. The document is renamed to the same name with a 1 added. Thus, 0Doc.ott is now called 0Doc1.ott in the default templates folder. What is strange is that when I open Writer, in Properties it still refers to the original name (excluding the suffix). I assume the the file name must be stored "correctly" somewhere in the settings? Yet, when I repeat the exercise, saving again as template to 0Doc, it still tells me that a template named 0Doc already exists (it does not, in the default templates folder - it is called 0Doc1). Now, when I view the default templates folder, the name is 0Doc.ott again. Save it again as template, and the name has been changed back to 0Doc1.ott again.

I can also reproduce this issue under (K)ubuntu 19.04. Should this not be a higher important than 'minor'. Consider increase to 'normal'?
