LibreOffice: templates already exist

[Ctulhu]

Hi all

I'm running Linux Mint 12 KDE and LibreOffice 3.5.2.2 with yesterday's update but I still can't define my templates etc. because of this "template's already exist" thing that pops up when I go File: Templates: ...

I followed this advice

<http://ask.libreoffice.org/question/240 ... eady-exist>

on my laptop running Kubuntu 11.10 machine and deleting

<HOME/.config/libreoffice/3/user/registrymodifications.xcu.>

worked, but not on my Mint 12 KDE - any tips?

How I made "my template":
1 - Format page, paragraph, fonts, header, footer, etc.
2 - Save as template in HOME folder
3 - close than open Writer
4 - Files--> Templates --> Organize... On the left side of the window you have "My Templates". Double click on that line. Usually you don't have any file there. Anyway go on the right side at button: COMMAND. Click and --> Import template. In the dialog window select your template (the saved one). After that it should appear on the left side under "My templates". Select there your template, than go to COMMAND (buttons on right) and select "Set as default". Close everything (including Writer). Than, when you open the writer your template should be active.

Well ... Two things:

1) I already have a bunch of templates and they are stored in the folder home/MYNAME/Templates, and I have declared this folder to be the default location for templates in LibreOffice (and that worked before they decided to 'improve' 3.4.x).
2) You say:

a) Files--> Templates --> Organize... On the left side of the window you have "My Templates".
Well, that's the thing: I don't have that entry "My Templates".

b) Anyway go on the right side at button: COMMAND. Click and --> Import template.
I don't have that either: when I click on "Commands", I have two entries: "Printer settings" and "Update", neither helps.

The things you say USED to work with LO 3.4.x, but ever since 3.5 (on Linux Mint 12 KDE) it doesn't anymore. Even Kubuntu is fine and I also tried a complete reinstallation, still to no effect.

I use libreoffice 3.5.2.2 (from Libreoffice site, dowloaded as *.deb file) and I have that sequence in the file-template menu (Linux Mint 10 - Gnome2). Very strange!
