Tools > Extension Manager... should give you the option of removing the 
extension. I also noted that the extension gave problems (Basic runtime 
errors), but when I don't use it, it doesn't do any harm for me.

Apparently I did manage to remove it somehow along the way; the 
Extension Manager no longer shows it at all, and it's not showing in the 
Edit menu either. What I had thought was its toolbar icon was in fact a 
different tool entirely!


I did note that several of the Language Tools that I've installed in 
addition to those built in do NOT have "remove" buttons in the manager 
dialog, however, and that the sole update that's shown when I "check for 
updates" runs continually at 100% CPU usage but fails to complete within 
5 full minutes, so something is definitely amiss with this installation. 
Perhaps I *do* need to bite the bullet and start over, installing from 
the PPA then customizing


Thanks, everyone, for the responses!

[libreoffice-users] Uninstalling incompatible extension

2016-02-03 Thread jwkokc 
After installation of version 5.03, I found that the 'AltSearch" extension
that I had installed for version 4.x is apparently incompatible with the
newer version, but I have not yet located any instructions for removing such
an extension. Now, each time I save a document while exiting from Writer, I
get an error message that files are damaged and will be reconstructed next
time I open them.

No damage is evident, and no files are listed in the message. I renamed my
user profile as per the on-line instructions, and the message went away, so
I presume it's connected somehow to the presence of the incompatible
extension. However I have customized my system to such an extent that I need
to return to the original user profile to be able to work comfortably.

Is there a process for removing such material, or must I bite the bullet,
blow away my entire installation (which is on Xubuntu 14.04.3) and install
version 5 anew from the PPA?

Jim,

I am not an Xubuntu user, but I am using the vanilla LO 5.1.0.3RC3 x64
on PCLinux and Windows 7 with the AltSearch extension version 1.4.1
which is working perfectly for me. I did experience a problem with macro
errors (no crashes) in a previous LO version (4.?), but this was
resolved by removing and reinstalling the extension.

Where did you hear that the extension was incompatible with the 5.x
versions of LO?

Dave
