Bug Description

Hi Vincent,
    Let's say one makes a new file example.txt

$ abiword example.txt

Then when abiword opens, it doesn't have the file name as example.txt
It says untitled0 (this is also a bug but a different bug)

so I copy some content on the file. then save it with the same name.

On the CLI I get this output

gnowledge@gnowledge-desktop:~$ abiword example.txt

Is this the way it should be?

I do not notice any strange behaviour though.

Also, I think the reason that it says untitled0 is that you can't have Abiword create a new file from the command line.

The report is asking whether or not the behavior is correct. That is not something we determine through a bug report, but rather through a support area. This could be asked in the forums, mailing lists, or launchpad questions.
