(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #2)
Hard to imagine. Let's say you made the document background black and want
to return to factory settings. What should happen? Restart the program,
apply immediately, remember the reset until you restart the program?
Samuel, your input please.
A) Hard to imagine? There are quite a lot of bug reports with the advise to
reset the user profile. [See bug tracker or ask Xisco] Why should be so
cumbersome to go from say Help -> Restart to safe mode (while LibO seeming more
or less in a working state. LibO needs to run for Help -> Restart to safe mode
anyway)
B) Don't think a reset to factory setting is possible without a restart? And a
program without profile seems a bad idea. So reset to factory settings +
restart. Similar behavior as when changing in OpenGL mode/ Skia Vulkan etc.
And my vision is to make the (re-designed, bug 120269) settings recovery dialog
to be accessible (no need for a new one). [Where I also propagated, a profile
reset']. Alternative route: fresh profile, see D
C) And a factory reset is factory reset. Haven't seen a mobile phone with an
option to go to factory reset once (to test :-).
I enter safe-mode (say Windows Safe mode) if LibreOffice doesn't launch or
crashes at launch etc. Say the direct shortcut on Windows; the in application
reference to safe-mode unconventional, IMHO
D) An option to change to a different profile? Is there a need for it? Maybe?
Firefox has a manager too. Could be an alternative route for backup. Create a
fresh profile; and leave the old one lingering around. With some migration
assistant to 'port' from one profile to another.
I personally don't switch profiles very often; in the sense of heaving multiple
configurations by default. Only when regular 'profile' appears to broken
somehow.
