Summary: Allow exporting configuration files easily and make
some kind Configuration repository
Severity: enhancement
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: franciscoadriansanc...@gmail.com
Hardware: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: unspecified
Component: UI
Product: LibreOffice
If I remember right, one of the thoughts about a new UI for OpenOffice back in
Renaissance project was that OOo was already good, but the defaults were the
problem.
I my case it _is_ a problem, and I'm always changin many configurations from
position and coontent of toolbars, to linestyles, gradients andcolor palette.
This happens when, for some reason, my profile gets corrupt and I need to
reset, or I have a new installation and dont have any copy of my profile... or
whatever.
The way a tray to conserve my configurations is copying my entire profile from
one installation to another. I understand that I'm copying maybe a lot files
unnecesary since I know that where are some of the configurations stores. For
example, I know that my default color palette is in config/standard.soc. For
there are many other configurations that are stored in different places, or
even in "registrymodifications.xcu".
My "idea" embraces 2 things: allow exporting personalizations easily, without
the need of going to the profile and copying folder, but having a button that
exports literally all configs to a simple file (maybe some kind of ZIP?), which
can be loaded as extensions. The main reasoning behind this is just make it
easier export and import configurations, and avoiding the necessity of knowing
where configs are for a simple user.
The second point is sharing: I cannot ensure but I think that, like me, there
are other people that dislike some defaults configuration in LibO. So a way of
easily share confugurations, like some kind of repository could be good. It
could be integrated to the extensions/templates webpage, and also, having a way
to vote which set of configurations results in a favourite could help LibO to
set better defaults.
It's an idea.
