[Bug 245942] Re: Cannot open a URL

2009-02-14 Thread Chris Cheney
If you want this feature to work with the GTK file dialog file the bug in the correct place, in Gnome BTS or at least on gtk in Ubuntu. Filing it against OpenOffice.org isn't of much use. ** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- Cannot open a URL https://bugs.launc

Ok, I stand corrected. I just tested an Ubuntu 8.04 and 7.10, neither OOffice could do this. It must work under Gentoo though, because I used to do this all the time. -- Cannot open a URL https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245942 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubunt

I suffer from this bug too (Ubuntu 8.10, OO 2.4.1-11) In previous versions of Open Office, it was possible to specify an URL in the File->Open dialog. OpenOffice would then load the entire web- page (including css, layout, images etc.) as if it was any other document. It's not a simple fetch of

I'm re-openeing this bug because: It's a valid bug, and completely negates one of OO's best features. ** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- Cannot open a URL https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245942 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ub

Thanks for the information. However, a help search turns up no hits for GTK and one hit for Gnome. It is not at all clear how one goes about reconfiguring the software to use a different file open dialog. Further testing has shown that there is a similar issue with the Windows version of writer.

Note it works if you turn on the OOo file open dialog instead of using the Gnome one, so this isn't really a bug at all, unless the gtk file open dialog is supposed to be able to open http files, which it doesn't seem to do under any application. -- Cannot open a URL https://bugs.launchpad.net/bu

Yes, it is not gedit... BUT it uses the exact same file open dialog as gedit and all other Gnome applications, and it doesn't work in them for me either. This is probably a gtk issue if its considered a bug at all. -- Cannot open a URL https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245942 You received this bug

I honestly thought the previous question was a joke - OO is not gedit. >From the help (Opening Documents): "You can also enter a URL in the File name box of the Open dialog. This must start with the fully extended form with file:/// or ftp:// or http://."; This used to work just fine in previous
