Bug report for LibreOffice 3.6.4.3 on Mac OS X 10.6.8

#1

I couldn't find a bug report link on LibreOffice.org so I'm sending it here.

Steps to reproduce:

Navigate to a folder in the Finder that has more than 1 .odt file.
Select two .odt files.
Open them (Command + O).

Expected outcome:
LibreOffice should open both documents.

Actual outcome:
LibreOffice puts up an error dialog with the following message:
/path/to/document1.odt /path/to/document2.odt does not exist.

It seems LibreOffice does not correctly handle opening multiple documents at once, treating both filenames as one filename (to a file that does not exist).

It does not matter if LibreOffice is running or not. Opening one document at a time works as expected, it's only multiple documents that fails. I'm not sure if this affects older versions. I may not have attempted to open multiple documents until today.

The same behaviour occurs for me (MacBook, OS X version 10.6.8, LibreOffice 10.6.8). You should file a bug report at https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/

That one didn't work for me. Complained about not having a token when
I went to submit the issue.

That one worked and also helped me to find a pre-existing bug report.

Just for the record, I have no difficulty performing the operation
described above using the Swedish version of LibreOffice 3.6.0.1 on 64-bit
Ubuntu 12.04....

WFM as well:
Version 3.6.3.2 (Build ID: 58f22d5)

With 3.6.3.2 and OSX 10.8.2 selecting two odt files from Finder and
directing Finder to open both with LO results in a graphic message that
"<file1><file2> does not exist" (suggesting it is concatenating the file
name?)....
HOWEVER - using the LO menu to open the same multiple odt files works
without issue.

Hi,

No problem with LibreOffice 3.6.4.3 in Ubuntu 12.10.

I have observed the same. In my case, I selected both and
double-clicked. If I opened one and then the other it worked fine.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. Being a linux user I wasn't aware of what
"Finder" is, I do now: https://support.apple.com/kb/ht2470. So I was
testing directly from the LO menu & that works fine.

So for a correction:

If I try the same (select two files in the system file manager and
double-click) on linux using 'Nautilus' (GNOME file manager), only one
file will be opened & no error message. I suspect that this is more an
issue with my 'clicking' than the file manager, as when I select the
files, and use the 'Enter' key on the keyboard, both files open in two
LO windows.

This is not the case with the KDE file manager 'Dolphin'. Trying the
same with 'Dolphin' results in LO opening one file, and the following
error message for the second file:

KDEInit could not launch 'libreoffice':
Could not find 'libreoffice' executable.

The issue is with the file manager, not LO.

I've tried and it happens the same to me (on MacOs 10.6.8 - LO 3.6.3.2)

#12

While it works perfectly with LO 3.5.6.2 (still on MacOs 10.6.8).

I have both installed and now I tried with the older one.

Hi :slight_smile:
The 3.5.6 is on the equivalent of Service Pack 6 while 3.6.3 is only on it's Service Pack 3.  Oddly the 3.5.6 is older, it was released around 19th Aug, whereas the 3.6.3 was around 4th November.  Both have been superseded by more recent releases in their respective branches

3.6.4 (equiv of Sp4) on   9th Dec

3.5.7 (equiv of Sp7) on 14th Oct

It is good to try different versions so it's good to know the problem is not in the 3.5.x branch and is just a fairly recent regression.  If you are happy to settle with the 3.5.6 that is fine but it would be helpful to know if the bug is still in the 3.6.4.  (There's no point in testing the 3.5.7)

Upgraded to last available version to download and it still gives the
same error :frowning:

Hi :slight_smile:
Ouch!  Sorry!

So i guess you have gone back to the 3.5.6 (which does work) since you already had the installer for it?  I think that has given you a useful comment to add to the bug-report.  Is there already a bug-report?  If not can you post a new one?
