Description Brock McNuggets 2015-07-15 04:27:43 UTC 
When you change the name of a file in the Finder (or by the command line or other means), LibreOffice does not track that it is the same file. This is not the norm on OS X for Apple programs *or* others.

It is a strange idea to change the name of a file when it is being edited.

I suggest to close this report as NotOurBug.

Best regards. JBF

On OS X it is not that uncommon, in fact, many OS X programs have the feature built into the window of the application. Here is an example I made for someone in a different forum to show how it is used:

This same feature, if fixed, would likely lead to the "Open Recent" feature working as it does on most OS X programs - if you move or rename a file, you can still access it from the Open Recent file menu (and Dock menu, too). Right now it works with the Dock menu but not the file menu.
