OpenOffice has always worked the way the Martin described. What you are
seeing with the open dialog is how your operating system works.
OpenOffice does not have control over that.
1. What does 'default path' mean in the statement:
"OpenOffice doesn't changes the default path"?
The default path is set by your Operating System, which is basically the
last directory you used to save or open a document.
Blame Bill Gates.
2. Does OO or the OS control the 'default path'?
NO!
3. OO could save files anywhere a person wanted, regardless
of the OS, without changing the 'default path'.
I have written many programs that do, and assure you it's trivial.
If you have written many programs that do what you want, you should know
that you overruled the default of the Operating system.
4. A feature to allow writing a file to an external drive without
changing the 'default path' would be easy to implement.
It's what the original poster requested info on, and the reply
'It works how it works get over it', isn't a good answer.
You're correct the original poster want something different as it works
at the moment.
So his question should go into the bug/rfe database, but he asked the
question on a user mailing list
and users can't change the program so expect answers like "It works how
it works" because user aren't daydreamers
they tell you how to deal with issues.
5. Rationalizing shortcomings by pretending people who expect
more are incompetent, isn't good 'customer service'.
Again, you are right this isn't good 'customer service', because in the
first place you're not a customer but a user
secondly we aren't a customer service department, we are just users like
you.
