A quick update on this bug. ChDir, CurDir and ChDrive documentation have been updated for 7.2: https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-US/text/sbasic/shared/03020401.html?DbPAR=BASIC#bm_id3150178 This was done by [1] to explain that these methods are deprecated and may be removed in the future. [1] https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129114 (see comment #3) What I suggest is to add a note recommending the use of the ScriptForge FileSystem service for all of these soon-to-be-deprecated functions. https://help.libreoffice.org/7.2/en-US/text/sbasic/shared/03/sf_filesystem.html?DbPAR=BASIC#bm_id41582391760252 As for CompatibilityMode no changes have been made so far. I just don't know exactly what aspects need to be updated in the help page.

I guess the patch closes this bug. Changing it to RESOLVED - FIXED.
