Under File click on open and you will be able to browse for the folder that you want to open.

Do you mean that the open dialogue doesn't have these three icons in the upper right corner? Or something equivalent if your icon set is different?



Clicking the first one should always take you up one level to let you start browsing higher up in the filesystem hierarchy. Clicking the tiny cottage should take you back to your home directory.

actually i want to upload image for this problem but i don't know how to do it.
@ramchu : if i click open there are some option, file name, version, file type (all on the left side) and open, cancel and help (all on the right side). i have try all option but not of them direct me to browse some folders in my hard disk.
@bald brick : on the top right side there are three icon that you showed me, up one level, create new directory and home folder, not of them direct me to browse some folders in my hard disk

Hit the PrtScrn key to open KSnapshot, which will let you take a snapshot of the relevant area and save it on your hard drive. Then you have to upload the saved image to a site providing image hosting and finally you have to link to that site in your post. I use www.postimage.org most of the time.

I finally understand what you are missing. You'd want a Places panel in LibreOffice, where you can simultaneously mount partitions and open directories on them with a mouse-click. As in Dolphin:



or in Konqueror:



or in Firefox:



Unfortunately I don't think LibreOffice offers that functionality. You can only navigate to folders on partitions that are already mounted. You have to do the mounting in Dolphin or Konqueror, or from the command line. After that you'll find the newly mounted partition under /media (unless it has an entry in /etc/fstab).

Hi bald brick, i think i have a solution for this just like what you suggest me. I must open one document in a folder through dolphin so libre can mount that folder. After that i can mount others document in that folder with open option in libre. so difficult huh??
I have this problem too with clementine. If i click play on playlist, clementine can't play the songs in playlist. I must open the folder that has all of my songs with dolphin after that i click again play in playlist, and clementine can play all of songs. oh my god, not simple at all, but i like pc os linux, so beautiful

They actually point to the pics with the syntax:

They worked yesterday but not anymore. I'll try to upload them to another server.

Well, okay. Maybe you're seeing that. For some reason, if I hover over any of the missing pic images, I see the main page link. If I right click one of them and copy the link, it's the one I posted. Somethin' funny a-goin' on here.
