Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 92987
provide strict configuration update/management
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:39:55 UTC
The problem is that I try to use and test new version of OOo however lack of configuration update is really scaring me more and more. I used OOo 2.x, then devOOo3, then OO3m2 and let's take a look at my home dictionary: .ooo-2.0 .ooo-dev .ooo-dev3 .openoffice.org2 IMHO OOo is too messy -- notice that I had/have only one version installed at the time, OOo should automatically "upgrade" configuration files as well. But ooo-dev3 ignored my ooo2 files, the ooo3m2 took previous files into account, but not from ooo-dev3 but from ooo2 and apparently didn't remove those files or renamed them as archive. Lack of keyboard shortcut could be only annoying but when I tried to insert bibliography index in my work and I realized that all my data are gone (*)... well, this is not nice. (*) Luckily they were still present, OOo was just unaware of them. So, bottom line -- with each version/upgrade of OOo please keep and eye on config file and update them accordingly.
Reassigned to requirements.
