Type of files displayed

Post by tlatimer »

Hi, When using Writer (4.1.5 but happened in versions 3) and opening a file, "Files of Type" defaults to "All Files". Can change to "Documents" but will revert back to "All Files"
next time it's used. Is there any configuration value I can change to make this show "Documents" when I want to open a file ? Thanks

The the to achieve this task by macros. Write your own FileOpen function. You can control the FilePicker by your macro: you can set which filetypes will be appeared in the dialog.

Thanks for the quick reply, sir....I need to get up to speed on OO macros and will see if I can come up with a solution
I thought there might be a place in the XML stuff that I could modify
