Description hendrik.gaspar 2023-11-20 11:35:21 UTC
Description:
Beim Abspeichern einer beliebigen Datei im Writer können nicht alle zur Verfügung stehenden Ordner ausgewählt werden. Insbesondere die externen Speichermedien sind in der Seitenleiste nicht, wie zuvor in 7.3. verfügbar und können nur über Umwege verwendet werden.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ein beliebiges Dokument im Writer speicher.
2. Benutze einen der Buttons für Speichern oder Exportieren oder den Dialog über das "Datei"-Menü.

Actual Results:
Das sich öffnende Fenster, um den Speicherort auszuwählen, führt nicht alle Orte (Ordner und Speichermedien) auf.

Expected Results:
Das sich öffnende Fenster soll, wie in der Version 7.3 genauso aussehen, wie das Standartfenster der Dateiverwaltung (mit allen Favoriten, Lesezeichen und externen Speichermedien).

Automatic translation of comment 0:

Description:
When saving any file in the Writer, not all available folders can be selected. In particular, the external storage media are not in the sidebar, as was previously the case in 7.3. available and can only be used indirectly.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Any document in Writer memory.
2. Use one of the buttons for Save or Export or the dialog via the "File" menu.

Actual Results:
The window that opens to select the storage location does not list all locations (folders and storage media).

Expected Results:
The window that opens should look exactly like the standard file management window (with all favorites, bookmarks and external storage media), as in version 7.3.

Reproducible: Always

Hi Hendrik
It seems you are using the "native libreoffice dialogs", 
You can turn it off in: Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General > Use LibreOffice Dialogs.

Does that solve it? Or is it a different issue?

Hi,

thanks for your answer. Yeah, it kind of solves the problem. I didn't know these option before. I looked it up, and it was NOT the native dialog. It was the OS-dialog. I turned on the native one and added my external drives to the favourite's list on the left. I find this option very impractical.
I think I will use the old workaround to go to root (?) and then to "media" ... so I can use my USB-drive. Would be great to have direct access to the external drives again through the OS-dialog.

tl;dr: It works in an impractical way. The normal OS-dialog with the external drives would be preferable.

Thank you again!

Best wishes

Hendrik

Actually, it's the other way around: I thought that your issue came from the fact that you were using the built-in LibreOffice file dialog instead of your desktop environment's!

Going back to the native Gnome dialog: do you have the same issue when trying to save a file with another app, for example gedit or Firefox? You are using Gnome, right? Please share your OS and desktop environment versions too.
