Isn't it still a bug if the only way to upgrade from LibreOffice 3.4 to 3.5 is to do extensive searching on-line about where the config files go? Is this something an average user is supposed to know? I've spent hours doing Google searches for how to migrate. Shouldn't there be some warning when you upgrade, or perhaps some way to migrate the settings manually?
I would think developers would want upgrading to be as transparent a process as possible for non-technical users so people would not to have to dig around in config files and Google just to keep using software.

Everything is still in my ~/.libreoffice/3/user/ folder, but LibreOffice simply doesn't seem to see it. Maybe the new version stores things in another location but if so I can't tell where this is or how to import my settings.
