Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Showing hidden files/folders

Hi :)
If it is distro specific then surely a bug-report against the distro itself rather than upstream 
here?  This link for Ubuntu (possibly upstream of the problem in Mint?)
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs

This one for Fedora and others in the Redhat family
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/
Regards from
Tom :)

No problem & here is how you get there from the main LO page:

http://www.libreoffice.org/
  http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/
    https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/

I think that they should add this link so that those filing bugs have
additional information:

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport

Added note: I found this particular oddity; in Linux Mint 12 (which uses
the Ubuntu repositories for all things LO 3.4.4 doesn't show the dialog
option. However on Ubuntu 11.10 LO 3.4.4 the dialog does show. Both are
LibreOffice 3.4.4 OOO340m1 (Build:402). I went through both systems &
verified that the same versions of the packages are installed. So I'm
still trying to figure out the differences. If I can do that then I may
possibly figure out why one has it and the other does not.
