Hi,

I'm currently evaluating which name to choose for the user profile of
OpenOffice.org 3.

Currently the user profile is named

$SYSUSERCONFIG/OpenOffice.org3  on Windows
$SYSUSERCONFIG/.openoffice.org3 on Linux and Solaris
$SYSUSERCONFIG/OpenOffice.org-aqua/3 on Mac OSX

It is very unfortunate that the names differ that much. This will make
future code for migrating user data in OOo4 platform dependent and so it
should be justified. The additional "." on unixoid systems is bearable,
but the different structure isn't.

So I'm wondering whether the additional sub directory on Mac is
necessary or if the name we use on Windows would be acceptable on Mac also.

I also would like to drop the "-aqua" as for OOo3 there should be no
reason to support the X11 version anymore (at least not on the same
machine).

We have the additional problem that we need to change the name so that
it differs from the profile created by the 3.0 Beta version. So my
proposals would be:

(1)

$SYSUSERCONFIG/openoffice.org_3 on Windows and Mac OSX
$SYSUSERCONFIG/.openoffice.org_3 on Linux and Solaris

or (2)

$SYSUSERCONFIG/OpenOffice.org_3 on Windows and Max OSX
$SYSUSERCONFIG/.openoffice.org_3 on Linux and Solaris

or (3)

$SYSUSERCONFIG/OpenOffice.org/3 on Mac and Windows
$SYSUSERCONFIG/.OpenOffice.org/3 on Linux/Solaris

(2) would be my last choice, I would prefer (3) or (1). I think we can't
get rid of the "." problem.

Comments, anyone?

Regards,
Mathias
