[Solved] Change working directory on open

[140968]

Hi community,

I`ve been working for quite a while with OOo and appreciate it. Thanks a lot! But since I had to switch to Win 10 after my win2000 PC burned through in 2021 I experience problems when saving files that are opened by doubleclick in windows explorer. When chosen "save as..." these file are saved in a directory recently used for saving and not in the directory, where the file is opened from.

Is this a known problem or is my OO-Installation flawy? Or is this by purpose?

Thanks for any help to fix this.

AOO (OOo disappeared years ago) offers the last folder you saved to when you save a file. Just navigate elsewhere... Do some simple experiments.

Ok, so this is on purpose. In my case it would be very helpful for avoiding mistakes, if somebody could add a switch, to toggle this behaviour, so this value just remains unset. Perhaps this could be a suggestion?

Perhaps this could be a suggestion?

Perhaps it could be, if it were in the relevant place. We are all users here and not in a position to, and probably don't have the skills to, implement changes in the programming.

Treffer, versenkt.
Hit, countersunk.

I regret that I don't understand what you have just written.

Well, I just wanted to say that you gave me all the information I needed to know. Thank you.
Sorry, I hadn`t read the survival guide.
