Re: bug ? (IMPORTANT, PLEASE FIX THIS)

Yes, I noticed that too. Looks like when passing non english character file names from KFileDialog (?) on to OOo to actually open the file the name gets mangled due to some charset incompatibillity and an error message is produced.

If I try to open a file named "file_with_ö.sxw" in my home dir I get an OOo error dialog saying:

"Error loading document file:///home/bjorn/file_with_%F6.sxw: /home/bjorn/file_with_%F6.sxw does not exist."

Hope this helps the one who will solve this for all us non english users.. I'm to lazy/stupid/lazy and lazy.. ;)

Sayonnara!

Giuseppe said to me :

There is a bug report for this in qa.mandriva.com, and sound a problem in the kde filepicker, but the same happens into 2.0.1-1mdk but I don't have a patch (and the same bug seems persisting even in latest milestone m156).

Note that you can change the dialog box either from env var:

export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde

or

export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome

before running ooffice2.0, either from menu Tools/Option/General => Use OpenOffice.org dialogs.
