Hi Frank,
despite the fact that I understand the use case you pointed I do not
see a robust feature for templates and user dict paths. Andreas Schluens
can not confirm that changing theses paths always leads to a proper
working OOo.
We can offer more paths in the future (after OOo 2.0.3) if
1) we have valid use cases
2) we have a quality of OOo with respect to the paths that OOo works
fine even if the paths are pointing to invalid data.
greetings

Hi Matthias,
(what would be the proper list for this kind of response? Certainly not
[EMAIL PROTECTED], but which one is better?)
Several paths are critical to OpenOffice.org. If a user is not
absolutely sure what she does in Options-Paths then OOo can refuse to
launch the next time. Therefore, all but 5 paths are removed from the
Options panel. The experienced user can still change the other paths by
editing the configuration file.
So next time I want different SO / OOo installations to share the same
"document templates" and "user dictionaries" paths I have to fiddle with
XML files, since the UI does not offer those two anymore. Hmm. Are
really all of the removed paths "critical to OpenOffice.org"? I don't
think so.
Comments: spec is preliminary
Does this mean there are chances to get some of the uncritical paths
back? :)
Ciao
Frank
