--- Comment #6 from steffan.steffner at gmx.net ---
To clarify my point:
I don‘t run into any unexpected difficulty with Writer /libreOffice:
Since I know that using characters like „?“, „:“ „/“ etc. in any file name on a
computer is a bad idea, I just don‘t use it.

And to answer your question
>Do you have full access (F) permission?

Yes, when I use a „normal“ file name, I have no problem to save a file in
Writer. 

So again, what I am trying to say is:
the error report that is displayed by LibreOffice Writer (and the same is true
for LibreOffice Calc) is completely misleading. I come across this error report
a few times a year, just because it hit a wrong touch on my keyboard (but I
certainly know instantly what to do). But I am sure that this has the potential
to drive beginners mad. 

I am not saying that LibreOffice should allow saving file names with „?“ and
„:“ in them (if this would be possible at all), but the error report should not
be misleading (as it is for the time being). 

Even MS WORD 2016 does a better job in such a case, by just saying „der
Dateiname ist ungültig“ (again, when using „?“, „:“ etc. in a file name.

So, LibreOffice should definetely not give the statement „Aufgrund fehlender
Benutzerrechte kann auf das Objekt nicht zugegriffen werden“.


Since LibreOffice definitely wants to be as user friendly as possible, this
should be corrected. 

Again, as stated before, IMHO the error report should read (at least as
additional info):  
"You have probably used characters that are not allowed in a file name (you
should not use ?,:,/, etc. in a file name.)" (bzw. hier:  “der Dateiname
enthält unzulässige Zeichen.” (Or, at least "der Dateiname ist ungültig".

And yes, this bug does not really seam to have a high priority. But I think it
would be fairly easy to correct.
