So I know we all have opinions about this and I'm not a developer, but in my view it's a big (not invalid) bug to make people lose their settings on upgrading. I guarantee there are lots of users like me who want to use their settings and don't want to spend hours Googling and going through Launchpad to figure out how to do it--people expect to be able to use all their applications immediately after upgrade, not to find things broken (which losing your personal settings does--it breaks your work flow and is as important as having other aspects of the program work correctly).

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.
