Hi,
I am using Open office all the time and on both Mac and PC.
There are some differences in how it works, but the main thing that is annoying
is when you are converting to pdf or saving files.
In Mac you press the pdf icon and you will have the same file name is suggested
 and also the same folder as the original .odt-file. This is great!
When using the PC and doing the same thing you will get the same name
suggested, but the folder suggested will be the root of the local documents
folder.

The Mac way is much more efficient and would be preferred also on PC.
To get to the root of the documents folder is easy, but to get to at folder on
a server might take a long time if you export many documents every day.

By "PC", I assume you mean Windows?

For me it opens the document's directory, using the latest Git on FreeBSD, is
this bug only on Windows or version 4.1.x?

Going through "git log main/fpicker", I see several bugs in our Windows file
picker that were fixed in trunk but likely not backported to 4.1.x. For example
bug 96720 and its commit 1aa1f6e56713546a63af3b26af83aa1655ce348c, and commit
bf854bef1c48c158bb9f5e1389f8f7731b54dcdf.

Even using 4.1.13 on Windows I get the same folder as the original file
suggested.

Either it's a bug in 4.1.10 or I am not understanding how to reproduce this.

Can you please try 4.1.13, and if it still doesn't work, describe detailed
steps to reproduce?
