Description p.wibberley 2024-12-23 16:11:52 UTC
Has the dialog box used for File.Save_As changed in Libreoffice 24?  The side panel doesn't show any of the Places defined in Dolphin, whereas I seem to recall previous versions of Libreoffice did. 
 
On a trivial point, the spacing of entries in the dialog box isn't as compact as one can get it in Dolphin.  

Thanks and regards

save_as_screenshot

Seems to be the usual screen and I believe the app is indeed Dolphin.

Can't reproduce it myself.

I added a screenshot of Calc instead of Writer, but just checked on Writer and the result was the same.

Hi Raúl, 

Thank you for investigating.  

The dialog I get is as per the attached screenshot.  I get just the basic locations and the 'Removable Devices' - yes, I have a floppy disk drive! - but none of the user-defined Places that I've added in Dolphin.  

It does appear that I'm getting a different dialog to you, as I have none of the options you have to adjust the view format. If you 'Add to Places' a directory in Dolphin, does to this appear in the dialog?

Regards

... and my version information is

Version: 24.8.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 480(Build:2)
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-GB
Ubuntu package version: 4:24.8.3~rc2-0ubuntu0.24.04.1~lo1
Calc: threaded

I see that I have an Ubuntu packaged version, and my UI render is gtk3 (not sure why).
Comment 6 p.wibberley 2024-12-24 16:04:54 UTC
Hi Raúl, 

Thank you again for your comments: I wouldn't have got this far without you!  

Looking a bit deeper, I don't see any KDE integration in my installation - see below - which seems like it might be important.  I do, though, have libreoffice-gtk3, which presumably explains the UI render information.  

However, if I try to install KDE integration using Discover, I get the message.  

"Error.  
This action cannot be completed as it would remove the following software which is critical to the system's operation:
* LibreOffice Base - LibreOffice KDE Integration
If you believe this is an error, please report it as a bug to the packagers of your distribution."  

I find this confusing, given that I don't (as far as I can tell) have any KDE integration installed.  

I also see that Discover says my libreoffice is installed from lp_ppa_libreoffice-noble-main, although I don't have this set up in Discover.Settings, and I thought I had a standard KDE Neon installation.  

I guess I should file a report in bugs.kde.org.  

Thanks and regards

Peter

PS  'apt list --installed | grep libreoffice' gives,
