Description: Click button in AutoText dialog, the Select Paths dialog will be dialog. However, the Extended Tips for the Paths button says "Opens the Edit Paths dialog, where you can select the directory to store AutoText." https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/master/sw/uiconfig/swriter/ui/autotext.ui#224 Also, the notation on the help page is "Edit Paths" instead of "Select Paths". https://help.libreoffice.org/7.6/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01010301.html Steps to Reproduce: 1. Choose Tools - AutoText. 2. Point the "Path" button with a cursor. Actual Results: The extended tip "Opens the Edit Paths dialog, where you can select the directory to store AutoText." is displayed. Expected Results: The extended tip "Opens the Select Paths dialog, where you can select the directory to store AutoText." is displayed.

Confirmed that there is a mismatch between help, tooltip and dialog title. However, I am not sure it's the help and tooltip that should change: to me, it makes sense to use "Edit Paths" for the dialog, because it's not really about selecting paths. It's about adding or removing them. But there's more to it: Looks like two dialogs use the same title: https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/search?project=core&full=%22select+paths%22&defs=&refs=&path=&hist=&type=&xrd=&nn=1&si=full&si=full What is the "multipath" dialog? Plus, this dialog is different: Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Paths > AutoText > Edit It allows choosing a default path, and does not list the internal path. Heiko, what do you think? To me, it seems that that "Path..." button in the AutoText dialog should instead open the same dialog as the one in the Options dialog. (As it hides the internal, undeletable path, and allows choosing a default path. And simplifies things.)

(or, you know what, even remove that "Path" button from the AutoText dialog... That dialog is a nightmare of usability anyway...)

SvxMultiPathDialog, seems not in use however. > Plus, this dialog is different: Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Paths > > AutoText > Edit > It allows choosing a default path, and does not list the internal path. True, that's ugly. > Heiko, what do you think? To me, it seems that that "Path..." button in the > AutoText dialog should instead open the same dialog as the one in the > Options dialog. Why do we need the configuration at all in this dialog? Maybe a path is being added when autotext is imported from a template. Which is only available for ancient Word formats. I suggest to drop it. I'm using autotext from a macro, and this is added to the path. Pointless to show it. To sum up, I suggest to remove interaction and code to import autotext from Word templates, and the access to path in this dialog. The configuration what path provides autotext should be done only via tools > options.
