It depends: the profile is in a hidden folder and most users are afraid of changing system settings. In fact, on mac systems hidden folders are really hidden, and a non experienced user will not know how to open them without a lot of google search. A possibility is to add a small app to AOO package that can be launched independently of AOO, check if AOO is running and close it to then rename the profile (AFAIK, firefox have something like that)... but of course, someone needs to build that app. Regards Ricardo > > > > > > Is that the best we have now for a recommendation?
