[ooo-build] [kubuntu] External filepicker is missing in macro dialog

[Vivien Taillandier]

When trying to use the filepicker service in openoffice under kde, I have a message saying that the external filepicker is missing.
That issue can be easily reproduced by creating a dialogbox, inserting a filepicker control, previewing the dialogbox and clicking on the control.
I have tried the official intrepid version (2.4.1) and the ppa's one (3.0) and none works.

Can you please give the exact steps you did to reproduce this bug? I am unable to find the location to even attempt to add a filepicker...

Thanks,

Chris

Still exists on jaunty.

1. open oocalc
2. tools->macros->organize dialogs
3. new
4. edit
5. choose a "File Selection"(bottom, left) and draw a rect into the dialog box
6. choose "Test Mode" (second icon from the top, left) and click on "Browse" in the appearing Dialog
7. note that nothing happens
8. note that oocalc won't close unless you kill the process

confirmed on ooo-build OOo 3.0.1, though I do not get the hang after trying to hit browse.

From the Ubuntu bug report:
"
1. open oocalc
2. tools->macros->organize dialogs
3. new
4. edit
5. choose a "File Selection"(bottom, left) and draw a rect into the dialog box
6. choose "Test Mode" (second icon from the top, left) and click on "Browse" in the appearing Dialog

As I understand it official OOo does not have KDE integration so this would be an ooo-build issue.

Reproducible: Always

Kendy?

No new OOo releases in Ubuntu => Wont fix
Needs upstream bug reference in LibreOffice => Incomplete

This is a feature SUSE has no interest in any more.
