Yes, it is by design that LO 5 keeps using ~/.config/libreoffice/4. 
This time, there were no technical reasons to not keep using any 
existing user directory, so we decided to simply avoid any problems 
inherent in the otherwise necessary automatic migration from a 
libreoffice/4 to a libreoffice/5 directory.  (Even if the unfortunate 
libreoffice/4 name can now confuse users.)

Seems like a better option would have been to just rename the directory?

Could have had its own set of subtle downsides.  Keep it simple.

Re: [libreoffice-users] porting macros to 5.0

Hi,

The way it worked previously (from LO3 to LO4), LibreOffice imported your
previous profile when creating the new one.

Now, I've just installed LibreOffice 5 to check, and I didn't get any
.config/libreoffice/5 directory; instead it seems that new changes are
still saved in the .config/libreoffice/4 directory... maybe this is a bug,
maybe it is by design...

Anyway right now it seems there's nothing to do to keep settings from 4 to
5.

2015-08-06 10:23 GMT+02:00 Tim Lloyd tim.ll...@gmx.com:

 Hi,

 I assume that when I install 5.0 I get a new directory in my home area -
 .config/libreoffice/5? Linux user BTW.

 Could someone pls advise how to copy my macros from 4 to 5? I had a browse
 through the existing directories and nothing leapt out at me. 4 looks like
 this:

[tim@lizard ~]$ ls .config/libreoffice/4/
cache  user
[tim@lizard ~]$ ls .config/libreoffice/4/user/
autocorr  basic extensions  registrymodifications.xcu uno_packages
autotext  configgallery store wordbook
backupdatabase  psprint temp


 Thanks
