Not sure why you can't see it, but I normally tell people that it is not a
good idea to adopt a naming convention that starts with characters like
these. I even go one step further and do not recommend people leave spaces
in their file naming structure.
I would go further and recommend that people *never* use special
characters in file names, not even _ if you can avoid it. Some of
them have meanings to other entities (like the shells, which don't
like spaces in file names, which is a WINDOWS thing anyway).
With _ this is a new oddity I haven't seen before, but leading
underscores are often interpreted specially by various applications,
so I'm not too surprised.
Aren't letters and numbers enough? :-)
Thanks, guys, but I can see and access all my other templates beginning with _, and I've used this
kind of system in various different ways before on all four operating systems without problems.
It's just that I only recently began using customised templates that I'm so late using them for
OOo, now LibO. I also try to avoid names with spaces in them, and thus have used the hyphen to
separate Mandarin and template in the file name.
Additionally, I can see my _Mandarin-template.ott in OOo, and open it without problems. This is a
bug in LibO.
