Hi all,

the first start wizard has an option to migrate user settings from an installed version 3. For me it is a highly customized OOo3.4.1.

These are my observations:

Transfer of BASIC libraries works.

Transfer of path settings does not work. I consider this a bug, because this "looses" templates, autotexts .., which are not at the default place. I suggest a release note to explain, that they are not really lost, but the paths have to be added.

Transfer of palettes work. But that is a problem, because the new color palette is not available. People might have customized palettes, with colors for corporate identity for example. So transferring the palettes is not wrong in general. Perhaps a merging of the palettes is possible in future? Because of the short time till release I suggest to explain the situation in a release note. The new default palettes are available in a folder "User - Kopie" (for a German Windows 7).

Transfer of user dictionaries work.

Transfer of user gallery themes work.

Transfer of user autotexts works.

Transfer of own toolbars works, including rename of commands. Only the position is different.

Transfer of customized toolbars works partially. Additional commands are available, but own names of these commands are not transfered. The show/hide status of the default commands is not transfered. Deleted default commands appear again. So the user needs to customize the toolbar again.

Kind regards
Regina
