If you try to create an alphabetical index (Insert>Index>Index) with a concordance file and you create a new concordance file from the index dialog window, the file is created on your file system without the extension .sdi. Best regards, Massimo Barbieri
Thanks for bugreport reproduced in 3.5.3 on Fedora 64 bit not reproduced in 3.5.2 on Windows 7 Therefore, Linux specific bug
still does this in 3.5.4.2 on linux (and does not work anyway see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46410)
Summary edited for clarity. To be clear these files are created via Insert > Indexes and Tables > Indexes and Tables... > Index/Table tab - Type and title section > type of "Alphabetical Index" - Options section > check "Concordance file" > pull-down list select "New..." - On the Save dialog, enter a file name > click Save. The resultant file will have a name ending in a full stop, but no "sdi" extension. This additionally means that when searching for an existing concordance file, none of the saved files show up in the LO browser. There are of course several easy workarounds, but I wanted to point this out. Above behaviour tested under Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 using: - v3.3.0.4 OOO330m19 Build: 6 - v3.4.6.2 OOO340m1 Build: 602 - v3.5.7.2 Build ID: 3215f89-f603614-ab984f2-7348103-1225a5b - v3.6.7.2 Build ID: e183d5b - v4.0.6.2 Build ID: 2e2573268451a50806fcd60ae2d9fe01dd0ce24 - v4.1.4.2 Build ID: 0a0440ccc0227ad9829de5f46be37cfb6edcf72 In all cases the concordance file is not saved with an extension. Version set to Inherited From OOo.
The bug is not reproducible with LibreOffice's own file picker dialog.
apparently problem in the GTK+ file picker - with SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen it's working ... so changing the STR_AUTOMARK_TYPE string from "... (*.sdi)" to "... (.sdi)" fixes it but that is a bit lame... ... ah found a better fix for the GTK+ file picker.
