This may be a feature request rather than a bug, although it may be both. In Calc, the hyperlink search window (Document Path) will only connect to a file. I want to connect to a folder. A work around is to put a dummy file into a folder, connect to the file, then erase the file name in the Document Path window. For example: file:///Users/bgravely/Holocene%20Technologies/Projects/SPS%20-%20Sundance%20Power%20Systems/Catawba%20College/Dummy file.ods becomes file:///Users/bgravely/Holocene%20Technologies/Projects/SPS%20-%20Sundance%20Power%20Systems/Catawba%20College/ When Apply is click, this works. I would like to be able to skip the dummy file work around. It can be quite tedious with many files.
Confirmed. Workaround : (1) Right-click on a file in the folder → Properties → copy the path of the folder ...
Tested on LO 4432 OSX 10.10.4

@Alex : you're probably right about it not working before. Come to think of it, I don't have a clear remembrance of it working (but I didn't try to use it when I had Oo). Apparently, the basic system code does support it, see e.g. (answer #1): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19532681/applescript-choose-file-or-folder
