Description J. Erik Hemdal 2005-08-09 00:37:53 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6

Description of problem:
When I use a command such as

oowriter filename.odt &

at the command prompt, the program responds with a dialog box stating that the file does not exist.  Oowriter does not start in this situation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openoffice.org-writer-1.9.117-3.1.0.fc4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Issue the oowriter command with the name of a new, nonexistent file as it's argument.
2.
3.
  

Actual Results:  Dialog box appeared telling me that the file does not exist.

Oowriter does not start.

Expected Results:  The program should have started, and created a new file for me given the filename, and it should take the file type based on the extension.  If there is no extension, assume the default file type.

Additional info:

This is perhaps a small item, but it is really helpful to be able to create a new file on the fly.  This would improve usability a lot for those who use the shell prompt.

Enhancement is more suitable for upstream, I've logged it as
