Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: install of 3.5.4 over 3.4.6 removed all my extensions

Tom
as the OP of this thread, my real issue was while it was "upgrading" the 
status text indicated to me that is was going to transfer my user 
profile info and such.  It did not do the proper job if it decided to 
transfer only the user name and other such data, and not all of the 
extensions he/she relies on.

I thin someone said that the 3.5.x like uses a different folder for the 
user data.  If so, maybe there is an error in the copying of that info 
to the new folder before that old folder was erased.

I have not tried this 3.4.6 to 3.5.4 on a Ubuntu system, only a WinXP 
laptop.  There must be a fix to this issue.

Can you imagine what a business type of user has to go through to move 
10, 50, 100 machines, using Windows, from 3.4.6 to a 3.5.x version if 
they have to reinstall ALL of their extensions, along with dealing with 
the custom install process to not have every single language dictionary 
possible during install automatically installed?
