Problem cannot connect to server

users
#1

For some reason starting today I cannot create a new LO write document or edit an old one and save it or save as without getting an error message "There was a problem connecting to the server " and the name of a shared system that I occasionally have connected to my Mac.

I looked for similar issues and found 2 possible fixes, one was to verify that I didn't have anything in the paths that mentioned that server (I didn't) the other was to reset my user profile. Which I did but it hasn't helped.

I see the issue has been around since 2011.

What things can I try now since I can't save or create new files with this problem?

If you're certain there is no configured path referencing ​​the shared
directory, maybe it's the open dialog that try to reference it. Not sure if
the option is available under a mac, but you could try enabling the
Libreoffice open/save dialog (in the options dialog, under
Libreoffice->General). It might work around the issue to toggle it.

Yes I am sure there is nothing in the path.

I can't find anything related to an open save dialog in the preferences for LO in the General or any other tab.

There is no Options dialog on the Mac

So I have no idea what you are talking about.

I've been through every single preference pane and can't find anything related to the server at all

It looks like this:

maybe the option isn't available on mac, but I doubt that the entire
"Options" dialog got cut.

OK With another look I found that setting. When I do that the server name does not appear in the path to where I an trying to save the files.
