Summary | 0012009: Preferences > Paths > Documents should have immediate effect | ||||
Description | When user changes Preferences > Paths > Documents , nothing happens immediately. User needs to restart Scribus first for the change to be applied. That's not the way it should behave. Scribus UI (and all UIs) usually propose options that take place once "Ok" is pressed. This dialog should behave as all other do. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | 0) Start Scribus 1) Go to: File > Preferences... > Paths 2) Change "Documents" path and click OK 3) Go to: File > Open... The old path previously set will be used. 4) Restart Scribus 5) Go to: File > Open... The new path will be used. | ||||
Additional Information | Scribus 1.5.0.svn (19357) | ||||
Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
Patch | No | ||||

Can't reproduce here, Open Dialog always uses the path that was set in Preferences. |
|
I also can't reproduce this issue. After changing the Documents Path under Preferences, restart Scribus and File > Open will show the Path you've selected. |
|
JLuc can you re-test and verify if this is still reproducible? Thanks. |
|
I tested and here is my answer : It seems that it requires to restart scribus for this option to be taken into account. So the bug is not that it doesnt work, it's that its not applied when user validates the change. |
|
Updated the report. |
|
QString prefsDocDir(prefsManager->documentDir()); if (!prefsDocDir.isEmpty()) docDir = docContext->get("docsopen", prefsDocDir); else docDir = docContext->get("docsopen", "."); So.. the reason for this is that Scribus remembers, in the docsopen context of preferences, where you open previous files in the current working session. We'd either have to get rid of that session based memory, or reset it when Preferences are changed. |
|
No bug as such... discuss and suggest or close this bug please. |
|
As you wrote in your previous comment : "get rid of that session based memory, or reset it when Preferences are changed." seems the right way to go. I dont understand your last comment. Do you mean the bug should be relabelled as "path change should apply immediately once user has pressed 'change' button" ? or less friendly "scribus should warn that the user will have to close scribus in order the requested change to really happen ?" ? In case it helps i changed the bug text and title. |
