--- Comment #3 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
[11:54] <htietze> sberg: Thanks for commenting on tdf#133777. What's your
recommendation for 7.0?
[11:55] <sberg> htietze, my gut feeling would be that it would be best to have
those galleries in share/gallery/ (which would presumably mean that they can't
be edited by users), but I don't know much about the gallery code

[11:59] <sberg> htietze, in the past we utilized some "migration" code that
would migrate old user installations to new ones on major version bumps, but
the last time we did that was from LO 3 to LO 4 (hence still the "4" in the
user installation pathname), for good reasons---that migration stuff was a
nightmare in itself, so if we can get away without it, we're better off overall

[12:05] <mikekaganski> htietze: presets is a template for creation of a new
profile. I would think that any modifications made into presets are
*rightfully* not copied to existing profiles, which could break them
[12:06] <mikekaganski> htietze: user-modifiable galleries should be separate
from bundled
[12:07] <mikekaganski> htietze: trying to bundle galleries and pretend them
being modifiable will hit you the next upgrade, when an updated version of the
same gallery arrives, and overwrites all user modifications


=> move new gallery content from preset/ to share/
