SUMMARY Choose template for creating libreoffice documents STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. When in a folder panel, right click 2. "créer un nouveau" (create a new) -> LibreOffice Writer 3. OBSERVED RESULT Opens a libreOffice document that default langage is English, It does not respect my default language setting I suppose it uses a template for new documents that setup the language and is not under my control. Never found where this template is setup, I should have change it. EXPECTED RESULT Would like to choose witch model to use for creation of writers documents. it should be the default model I setup in LibreOffice Options.

KDE doesn't ship any template for creating libreoffice documents AFAIK. (Well, calligra comes with templates for ODF files, but they don't have any mention of "LibreOffice"... ;-) ) So this is rather an issue in your distribution IMHO. Reassigning to KDE Neon therefore. You should be able to find the template files in /usr/share/templates/ (and /usr/share/templates/.source/) though, I suppose.
Thanks, knowing to find the template files in /usr/share/templates/ ... helped It would be cool if I could choice the template used at user side, as ~/.local/templates or so. Thanks doing the best Have a nice day
> It would be cool if I could choice the template used at user side, as > ~/.local/templates or so. ~/.local/share/templates/ is respected too (and complements /usr/share/), so it is indeed possible to add or modify templates at user side. Files in /usr/share/ are overridden by files with the same name in ~/.local/share/, so you can copy existing ones and modify them to your likings, or add completely new templates in ~/.local/share/templates/. Note that a template usually consists of two files: - share/templates/xxx.desktop that describes the template - share/.source/something that is the actual file that gets copied when you choose "Create New" The former can refer to the latter via a line like this: URL=.source/TextDocument.odt See also https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=224&t=119342 (this was from KDE4 times, but it should still apply, only the locations have changed)
> Files in /usr/share/ are overridden by files with the same name in ~/.local/share/ Good to know the overidden way. Why did not I undertand it before, never found it in documentation ! Is there a place for that kind of things ? otherwise it should be good to share this info ;-) Question, Is it a standart Linux possibility, or debian/ubuntu specific, or kde specific ... ? Thanks for all explications and sory for my english ;-)
Thank you for your bug report! However this bug report was created/provided previous to 01/01/2023 and also has not received any updates since before 01/01/2025.
