Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: libreoffice won't open files

Hi :)
The headings you listed are there but there is an additional heading just after 
the first one.  


- Help
- Open/Save dialogue boxes
- Document status
- Year (two digits)

It might be good to try renaming your LibreOffice config/user-profile to see if 
that has been blocking something.  On a command-line try

sudo mv /home/username/.libreoffice/3/user  
/home/username/.libreoffice/3/2011-08-09

If openSUSE doesn't have a sudo command then try 

su
mv /home/username/.libreoffice/3/user  /home/username/.libreoffice/3/2011-08-09

Note there is a space between user and the 2nd /home also replace "username" 
with the name you logged in with.  Tab-complete can help get the spelling right 
even in a pathname.  When i rename a folder like that i use reverse date order 
rather than something like "backup" or something equally vague in order to help 
me find the right one reasonably easily.  


I sometimes open files by opening the program and then just drag&drop the file i 
wanted to open into an appropriate part of the window.  If i get a wrong part in 
LibreOffice it gives me a nice looking icon on the blank page.  

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Hmm, there's no such option :(

I can choose Tools/Options and it opens a window. Within that I can
select LibreOffice -> General to select a page/tab/whatever. But there's
no Use LibreOffie dialogs buttons/checkboxes/etc. If I click on the Help
button on that page and view the topic 'opening;dialogue box settings',
it tells me the same thing you do; that there should be such an option.
But it's not there. There's options for:
- Help
- Document status
- Year (two digits)
- Enable experimental (unstable) features

but there's no
- LibreOffice Help formatting
- Open/Save dialogue boxes

I don't know what that means!
