Description Peter Kiesel 2019-01-19 10:24:24 UTC
Description:
My english is bad, but I try it, my native language is german.
This problem is only present in a linux- and windows-environment. I use a nas-server from synology and use no data lokal, only over the nas (over lan). In windows I can set a link from a file from the nas to another file of the nas and I can work with this link as well in linux. The window (over menu in libreoffice) to set such link is equal in windows and linux. Now, I try the same action in linux and I cannot set such link over the file manager. At the file manager I see the link with file://smb... and set I the link with the precise syntax manually (caracter by caracter - step by step) it works. The link is stored and I can read the linked file in Windows. But I would like to set a link over the file manager and this is broken. I get the window with the file manager and I can choose the file, but the link is not stored. There is no error, only the link is not stored. To set links in a lokal environment in linux it is not a problem, only over the nas and samba. I use linuxmint 19, but the problem is universally. I think in the linux-menue there is no option to set such links to use it in windows and linux. A note: in the german-user-group you find this problem in german over https://document-foundation-mail-archive.969070.n3.nabble.com/Re-lt-Link-lasst-sich-bei-Nutzung-eines-NAS-als-Fileserver-nicht-erzeugen-gt-td4255935.html. And a second note: The problem is not new, it isn't only present in the current version of openoffice or linux.
I hope, I have write the problem so, that you can understand it. For reply I get you some more informations with good grace.
Peter

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In linux-libreoffice: choose web-link
2. In the new window choose local
3. Use the file manager symbol and choose the file
4. On the line for the link is no entry with file://smb...

Actual Results:
Only if the link in linux set to the entry with file://smb... works it in windows too and I think it is only a bug in linux.

Expected Results:
There ist no error-information, mostly the line for the link is empty.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

At the last days I think about the problem and I tried somethings. My result is it is no bug. With the filemanager in linux I can copy the link and paste it to the link-array in libreoffice and this link goes on at windows too. The steps in linux are only diffent to windows and it takes a long time to understand it. Thank you and you can close the bug,
Peter
