[Solved] 3.5: start Writer doc basing on a template

Post by Agilar »

I've used to start writer doc basing on a template:

Code: Select all

libreoffice -n templateFullName
that was working until the 3.5 version release. Now it says: templates already exists - after I press Enter - it starts as usual. Can this be fixed?

The -n switch still works with my copy of LibO 3.5 downloaded from the project web site.
It makes any ODF document behave as if it were a template. You don't need it if the file is a template already (*.ot?).
Likewise, the -o switch opens a template for editing just like an ordinary document.
Please, edit this topic's initial post and add "[Solved]" to the subject line if your problem has been solved.

In LO3.5 in Kubuntu - the developers have moved the default coustomization folder from ~/.libreoffice, to ~/.config/libreoffice. Ones I've moved my ~/.libreoffice - to ~/.config libreoffice - all of my customizations got restored and work fine.
