Description MrChang 2021-12-25 19:16:18 UTC
Description:
When saving the document as copy or exporting it to pdf parts of the filename are missing in the file picker.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a document and save it as "Test 01.01.2021".odt
2. settings: extra-options-general use LO dialogs for open/save
2. Close Writer and reopen the document "Test 01.01.2021.odt".
3. a. Save the document as a copy.
   or
3. b. Export it - directly - to pdf. 

Actual Results:
3. a. with automatic file-extension flag: filename: "Test 01.01"
      without automatic file-extension flag: filename "Test 01.01.2021"
3. b. with automatic file-extension flag: filename "Test 01.01"
      without automatic file-extension flag: filename "Test 01.01.pdf"

Expected Results:
The file picker must not cut parts of the (base) filename and shall use the full filename as default suggestion: "Test 01.01.2021" and save/export it as "Test 01.01.2021.odt" or "Test 01.01.2021.pdf".


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
When using the system file picker the results are:

3. a. with automatic file-extension flag: filename: "Test 01.odt"
      without automatic file-extension flag: filename "Test 01.01.odt"
3. b. with automatic file-extension flag: filename "Test 01.pdf"
      without automatic file-extension flag: filename "Test 01.01.pdf"

Important addition to reproduce the bug:

Save the original document without the automatic file name extension as "Test 01.01.2021", so the filename is "Test 01.01.2021" (without .odt).

Likely a duplicate of See Also bug.

Thanks for your comment. What info do you need? I mean I added an attachment where I examined all kind of combinations of settings, filenames and filepickers (system/LO). If you give me an hint, I will try to supply the requested info.
Comment 5 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2022-01-22 17:49:07 UTC
Do not use dot nor space in your filenames.

I suggest to close this bug report as NotOurBug.

Best regards. JBF
Comment 6 MrChang 2022-01-27 18:12:10 UTC
Thanks for your comment.

So, in your opinion it is not your bug, but a layer 8 bug ;-)

My opinion: The today's file systems allow points and spaces in a filename. Therefore layer 8 would like to use human readable and reasonable file names according to the file systems restrictions and layer 8's native language. There is no reason why layer 8 should adapt his native language and workflow to a file picker that generally could handle spaces and points in a expected way.

Of course I understand that my case will have a very low priority and I also appreciate a lot the efforts and time of the many volunteers of the project. But I keep my opinion: It is your bug.

Best regards,
MrChang.

Looks like duplicate of both mentioned bugs. I mark it as dup of 74064.
