I did an upgrade of my Linux distribution. I was hoping that it would be simple to restore my LibreOffice settings from the backup that I made. (Although I had some concerns that LO would be a newer version.)
EDIT: I just copied all the backed-up files-folders that are in “…/.config/libreoffice/4/user/” and pasted them (overwrite all) into the same folder of the newly installed version. Most things seemed to work without problems: I had created toolbars, macros, styles – they all worked.
The Extensions installed formerly by yourself should also be active!
is there something in subfolder
...user/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages/ ?
Uno_packages folder is blank.
@your Comment:
the Counterpart from Backup also?
Both the backup or the original /uno_packages/ folder is empty.
Thats bad ;-<
Maybe you backuped the wrong Folder?
Formerly the OOo/LO Userconfig was in /home/you/.Libreoffice/../user/
now its per Default in /home/you/.config/Libreoffice/4/user
I run /home and /opt on seperated Partitions, so I need no Backup on complete OS-upgrades
I had another backup of the ~/.conifig/libreoffice/4/user folder and it’s empty too – there is no ~/.Libreoffice folder. Why is it so bad, that it’s empty? All my extensions were working the day before I did the upgrade…
Its not bad at all - but it seems you have to reinstall your Extensions from the Repositories…
