Dear community,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to report some issues I have encountered while using the editor with the --xdg-desktop-portal option.

  1. Problem with .doc Files: When I open a .doc file, I am unable to save it. An error message appears stating: “Error occurred while opening portal: invalid filter: name is empty.”
  2. Problem with .docx Files: While opening .docx files works fine initially, I face another issue. If I create a new, empty file in a second tab and then paste content (either partially or fully) from the first file, I experience significant delays (3-5 seconds) when trying to save the changes. These delays also occur when navigating through directories using the file picker.

I would appreciate any guidance or solutions you can provide to resolve these issues.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Best regards,

Hello. Sorry. Delayed answer.
version: version 8.3.3.21 (rpm)
install: sudo dnf install ./onlyoffice-desktopeditors.x86_64.rpm

  1. To reproduce:
  • Create test.doc file with blablabla content in LibreOffice Writer.
  • Run onlyoffice-desktopeditors --xdg-desktop-portal=default for use kde file picker, and open test.doc
  • Click “Save As” give “Error occurred while opening portal: invalid filter: name is empty.”

With gkt file picker all good.

  1. I find it difficult to give details or video, because… disabled the ability to use kde portal due to lags
