Re: libreoffice converstion of egistrymodifications.xcu user items to systemwide xml registry share

Thank you Stpehan!!

I created the /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/registry/data/ directory and 
addeded my registrymodifications-system-wide.xcu and this seems to work.

Thank you very much for the right syntax and hints!

Kind regards,

Jelle de Jong

  file:
    path: /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/registry/data/

- name: copying registrymodifications-system-wide.xcu to 
/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/registry/data/
