Description Martin Raabe 2025-08-27 06:50:57 UTC
Description:
I use the PDF generation per icon a lot.
I am used to store the PDF in the same folder as the original document is stored.
This was broken in LibreOffice 25.2.2 and has been fixed in 25.2.5. That helped a lot!!!!!!!!
Now in LibreOffice 25.8.0 it came back in another behavior.
Sometimes the folder chosen by LibreOffice is a folder I used in the past although I have stored the LibreOffice document already or I have opened an existing file from the explorer.

Please revert the behavior to the state in LibreOffice 25.2.5. That will help a lot!!!!!!!!

Please revert the change.

I use this feature in Writer.

The very bad side of the bug is, that I have to force me to double check the folder given. I don't want to think about the target folder on each and every PDF file generation.
I want to trust, that the chosen folder by LibreOffice is the folder I picked the LibreOffice file from!!!!!

Steps to Reproduce:
Hard to say.

Actual Results:
20% of the PDF file generations are not stored in the folder where the writer file lives.

Expected Results:
100% of the PDF file generations shall be stored in the folder where the writer file lives, if not chosen differently.
Revert implementation to the former implementation in 25.2.5.


Reproducible: Sometimes
