I back up my user folder in LibreOffice, can I just copy that back after an update by LIbreOffice?
I want to make sure I am not wiping out any updates to that folder so is there a specific file or subfolder to just restore? This is the only annoying part of LibreOffice updates!
You said:
The User Folder remains untouched during uninstallation and installation.
That is not true for a lot of us on a Windows 10 64bit system unless we need to choose to update differently. Every time, my information gets wiped out, I can copy back the folder, but I do not understand why the software cannot be written to see if the folder is there and select not to overwrite the contents, Changing the software code is not a difficult thing to do. There have been many posts and web complaints about this “feature.” My user profile is not corrupted otherwise I could not copy this back and have it work either. I am sorry, but you saying this does not happen when I can see it has happened every time does not help me to fix this.
It should be a bug then. No matter how many “posts and web complaints” are there, unless there is a proper bug report with enough information to allow reproduction, there is nothing that can be changed in the code.
I use Windows 10 x64, by the way.
Thanks, that was more helpful. What can I do to help with a bug report or giving the proper information so this can be researched or duplicated? Is there a special way to do an update that I am not following?
File a bug report with information:
Some (most) of the items could be covered by providing detailed installation log.
There is none. The profile should not be touched by the installation, unless you do something unusual - like storing it inside installation directory (which is not the default).
