[Bug 119382] New: Options->General->Use openoffice file dialogs not
present in dialog
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119382
Priority: P3
Bug ID: 119382
CC: ooo-issues@incubator.apache.org
Assignee: uineedsconfirm@ui.openoffice.org
Summary: Options->General->Use openoffice file dialogs not
present in dialog
Severity: normal
Issue Type: DEFECT
Classification: Code
OS: All
Reporter: drankinatty@suddenlinkmail.com
Hardware: PC
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: version58
Component: ui
Product: ui
Guys,
When attempting to turn off the default file-picker so that I could use the
same gtk file picker I used with oo 3.3, the entire setting was missing from
the General dialog. See screenshot:
http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/aoo/opt-ooo-General.jpg
(openSuSE 11.4, x86_64)
This occurred when using the TDE desktop and in fluxbox. However, when I
started gnome, the setting was available and I was able to turn the default
openoffice file-picker off (thankfully).
However, leaving gnome and returning to TDE, the setting is not respected and
the default filepicker dialog was back.
This setting should be present regardless of which desktop is used. In oo 3.3,
there was no problem using the gtk file-picker. Anything with a directory tree
on the left and a file window on the right is better than the singe-pane
default picker.
What needs to be done so that the setting is available outside gnome so that
other desktops can use the gtk picker instead of the default?
Let me know if I can send you any additional information. Thanks.

Please attach the image to the bug, it will remain as a document describing the
issue (a link on the internet is likely to disappear soon).

If I understood clearly, you have the Gtk2 libraries installed.
Then it looks like an issue in the desktop detection (AOO knows nothing about
TDE, nor do I - Fedora 16 has no TDE packages to try).
Please try on a terminal to force the desktop detection, and then run AOO from
that terminal:
~] export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN="gtk";export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP="gnome"
~] /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice
Can you find that option now on the Options dialog?

Created attachment 77576
--> https://issues.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=77576&action=edit
Options->OOO->General tab Missing checkbox to deselect default dialogs
This is the screenshot from the link in the bug report attached to preserve it
along with this bug. In the screenshot you will see that the option to deselect
the default OO dialogs is not present. GTK and GTK2 are installed and OO uses
the GTK dialogs when launched in gnome. However, OO will not even see the GTK
dialogs when launched from KDE3.
I have managed to get GTK dialoags with OO in TDE 3.5.12 by using the old trick
of exporting:
export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome
In that instance the setting under General to "[ ] Use OpenOffice.org Dialogs"
is present and can be de-selected to get the GTK dialog to work in TDE.
OO should find the GTK dialogs and present the option in General regardless of
whether the environment variable OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome is set. This looks
like a problem potentially created by removing the kde chooser integration
code. For some reason, the file picker setting does not find the GTK dialogs
from KDE unless the OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP environment variable is set.
That is just the way it looks from my user standpoint. I could be wrong, but I
can confirm that I get the option to disable the OpenOffice.org Dialogs only
when I export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome under TDE.

You can download the fedora yum configuration for Trinity Desktop at:
http://www.trinitydesktop.org/
specifically see:
http://www.trinitydesktop.org/installation.php#redhat
(if it works as well on Fedora as it does on Archlinux and Slackware, you will
probably have a new desktop from now on :)
