Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 47098
changing "User Configuration" path only works partially
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:33:29 UTC
First timer - apologies in advance,... Using OO 1.9.91 on WinXP SP2 plus all latest patches. I keep my operating system on C: drive, and all my software on D: drive. Also try to keep configuration files on D: in case I have to do a restore - that way a restore will not affect program settings. When I change path for "User Configuration" folder from default (C:\Docs & Settings\...\App Data\OOo\user) to a folder on D: drive, some, but not all, information is still being updated to default folder, even though "User Configuration" path in Options is most definately set to D: folder. I verify this by doing a *.* search on both folders, sort by "Date Modified", then do something with OO and redo sorts to see when/where changes are occuring. For instance, if I just open/close OO, I get a file changes in (default)\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\common but if I make a change in icons on standard toolbar, I get a change in D:\...\soffice.cfg\modules\scalc\toolbar\standardtoolbar Hope this is enough info to check repeatability.
To progress this issue I'm changing the Component from '*Testproduct'. Regards, Andrew

Not a defect: Works as designed. You can change the settings for the user configuration in the bootstrap.ini. But that is not officialy supported.
