[Bug 120541] New: Incorrect open/save dialogs type in MATE
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=120541
Priority: P3
Bug ID: 120541
CC: ooo-issues@incubator.apache.org
Assignee: uineedsconfirm@ui.openoffice.org
Summary: Incorrect open/save dialogs type in MATE
Severity: normal
Issue Type: DEFECT
Classification: Code
OS: Linux
Reporter: alexlsh@mail.ru
Hardware: PC
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: current
Component: ui
Product: ui
I use Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise) with MATE desktop environment. Apache OpenOffice
3.4.0, downloaded from openoffice.org site. OpenOffice in this desktop
environment use incorrect type of dialogs for open/save files (in any
applications: Writer, Calc etc). It can't use "system type" of dialogs, but use
internal dialogs which is very inconvenient and useless for me. All other
programs in this desktop environment are using normal "system" dialogs (for
example text editor or Firefox browser). I often work in OpenOffice and this
bug is very painful to me.
Please help me to correct this bug.

I've no idea what MATE is, but looks like based in Gnome.
Try the following:
* Go to the menu "Tools" - "Options...". In the Options" dialog, select
"OpenOffice.org" - "General". Between "Help" and "Document status" you should
see a fixed line "Open/Save dialogs" with a check box "Use OpenOffice.org
dialog".
If you see this check box, uncheck it, so that you use the system's dialogs
instead of OO's.
* If you don't see this option to switch to system's dialogs, then try the
following:
- open a terminal
- export these variables:
export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN="gtk";export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP="gnome"
- execute OO from this terminal:
/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice
- go back to the "Tools" - "Options..." dialog, you may see now the option to
use system's dialog
If this worked, add these two lines in ~/.bashrc
export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN="gtk"
export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP="gnome"
this way you don't need to execute OO from a terminal with those variables set.

Thank you for answer.
Yes, MATE is based on GNOME2 codebase.
I have not "Use OpenOffice.org dialog" check box in my OO.
Your second method with environment variables is really work! But when I have
added variables to .bashrc it work only if I start OO from terminal. If I start
OO from menu or open a file in OO then I see internal OO dialogs again. How
better to do that to OO always use system dialogs like when I start it from
terminal with environment variables?

Please see
http://askubuntu.com/questions/121073/why-bash-profile-is-not-getting-sourced-when-opening-a-terminal
The answer says to add variables in ~/.profile if you want them when you log in
graphically. Not sure if this works. On Fedora there is no need for this file,
~/.bashrc is sources when log in graphically, via ssh, when opening a terminal
in graphical mode, etc.

You are welcome.
I'll close the bug as fixed.
In the meantime, I've found what may be the root cause.

Yes, it's works! When I have added environment variables to ~/.profile OO
always use system type of dialogs.
Your information is very helpful for me. Thank you very much.
