[Solved] Filepicker using built-in dialogs
Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2012 9:12 pm
On Windows 7 x64 there is a bug that prevents the use of the "setDisplayDirectory" in the filepicker.
It is documented here
https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/sh ... i?id=43021
and here
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=110141
In order to work around this, I am trying out the user preference "Use LibreOffice dialogs". It does correctly open to the directory set in the macro, but there is another problem. I don't see any way to navigate to another drive (local or network). I tried making windows shortcuts to other drives in the DisplayDirectory, but LibreOffice interprets the shortcuts as files instead of links. I don't see how I could live with this shortcoming, so I guess I will have to revert to the native dialogs, unless someone has a better idea?
Thanks,
