            Bug ID: 129804
           Summary: Conflicting template names
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.7.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: johnsmithbeatles at gmail.com

Description:
Consider you have 2 templates somewhere in the external directory (e.g.
C:\Users\John\Desktop):

one template is for Writer, and one template is for Calc.

They have the same base name: template. That is, their names are

template.ots and template.ott

Then, proceed the following steps:

1. Copy Writer template to the default templates directory; i.e.
   C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\4\user\template

2. Open Writer, select File > Templates > Manage Templates
   and make sure the copied template is shown.

3. Delete the copied template from 
   C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\4\user\template

4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for Calc.

5. Don't delete Calc template. Copy Writer template.
   Thus, you will have both templates in
   C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\4\user\template

6. Repeat step 2. The, repeat step 2 for Calc.
   You will see that Writer "see" template.ott, but
   Calc don't "see" template.ots

7. Rename one of these templates and see that problem is gone.
   Now, both templates are "visible".

So, when we have templates with the same names (e.g. template.ots and
template.ott, or foo.ots and foo.ott), LibreOffice see only one of them.
