------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Mar 17 10:58:06 -0800 2005 ------- In the previous installer for the 1.1.* series it was possible to choose the location of the user files. This meant that when openoffice is updated, the same directory could be chosen for the user configuration files, and it was not necessary to transfer/redo all the macros, dictionaries etc. The installer for the 2.0 series does not provide this facility. Instead, the user files seem to be put in $home/.openoffice.org<version number>. The implication of this is that when an update with a different version number appears, then the user file location will be different. Given the commendable speed with which updates appear, having a non-configurable user location means that there will be a constant need to update user configurations, and subsequent frustration at having to do it. Could the option to specify the user files location as in the previous installer not be reinstated? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
