FWIW, for comparison, the corresponding button in the StartCenter (the big Extensions button at the bottom on the left hand side) does open a link in the browser to the LO extensions website.

Please: Collabora bugs should be reported to a Collabora bug tracker. The Foundation’s resources should not be abused to report issues in commercial derivates.

> 3) Click on Manage Templates

The dialog has changed recently a lot for bug 138906, bug 139647, and bug 141329.

The "Manage Templates" menu has an entry to access extensions directly, which is disabled when started from the start center. Did that related to icons for bug 137922 since dispatchCommand() is not working in this context (it needs more experienced developer to fix). So maybe the templates command is just hidden (and the same is true for master builds, so NOB is wrong here).

The good news is that Manage Templates has this item when started from Writer. My take: not worth the effort and WF/NAB.

Sorry for overwriting the status. But NEW? Anyway, forgot to mention that everyone can REOPEN a ticket for second opinions. You are welcome to do so, Alex.

@Heiko: this is a bug specific to Collabora Productivity on macOS.

Indeed, I don't see any such dropdown entry in the StartCenter of

The question is then what to do with Collabora Productivity specific bug reports.

Since changes will be applied downstream it has no Collabora specific issues. But do we really need to change this? Sounds like a lot of effort for not much benefit. Stephan, you commented my patch back then. What do you think regarding the effort?

Heiko, are you referring to some Gerrit comment of mine?  If yes, please provide a link to it here.

Ah, the unresolved comment thread at <https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/105292/2//COMMIT_MSG#9> "Template Management dialog has no access to extensions when started from the start center", including my:  "I think the issue is that for some reason dispatching that .uno:AdditionsDialog does not work in the Start Center.  So I would assume we fix that, instead of adding a dubious band aid of disabling buttons that happen to not work due to an unfixed error elsewhere."

Yes, I still think that the poor band aid <https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/63b0565ad137e5d81932f1fabba732ba40f6cb70%5E%21> "Resolves tdf#137922 - Tight extension in start center" should be reverted and bug 137922 be fixed properly (whatever effort that would take, code-wise).
