Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 115341
Standard configuration files aren't created
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:45:26 UTC
Example: Start OpenOffice Writer and close it so that the standard configuration files are created. Now delete ~/.config/.openoffice.org/3/user/basic and start OpenOffice Writer. A few error messages appear because the standard files are missing. OpenOffice should create them then again without an error message. It seesm that this even work with more folders like /basic.

Native OOo isn't writing to .config. It seems to be a feature of your co-packed linux distribution Office.
I have fully uninstalled my version from the ubuntu repository and tested this problem with the native version of this site. OpenOffice.org is still saving to .config too.
.config directory is empty. AOO410m1(Build:9750) - Rev. 1566800 2014-02-11_04:11:01 - Rev. 1566981 Debian
I have tested this now with Apache OpenOffice 4.0.1 and the bug still exists. But a little thing has changed: The directory ~/.config/.openoffice.org/3/user/basic is now ~/.config/.openoffice/4/user/basic. The directory is directly created after Writer is started. I have tested this with the 64 bit debian packages from Sourceforge on Ubuntu 14.04 dev.
Created attachment 82563 [details] Dolphin screenshot What am I missing?
Created attachment 82565 [details] Screenshot of ~/.config This is how it looks on Ubuntu. As the screenshot shows a lot of applications have already ported from ~/ to ~/.config/. Could it be that debian has configured something that prefers ~/ over ~/.config/? It is also suspicious that in this screenshot .openoffice is the only directory that begins with a point as this is uncommon for the ~/.config/ directory. Maybe on debian the path is ~/.openoffice/4/user/basic and if not can you check with inotify where Apache OpenOffice stores your profile?

I assume your distro is setting XDG_CONFIG_HOME See Bug 121949
You are right: sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ env | grep '\.config' XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/sworddragon/.config
Is this a duplicate of bug 121949?
No, I'm complaining that the default configuration isn't fully recreating if partly deleted while the other report is complaining about saving at the wrong location with a non-optimal naming convention.
OK, thanks.
