            Bug ID: 133287
           Summary: Libreoffice AppImage: Every Minor Update Creates New
                    User profile
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.3.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: udevnull at t-online.de

Description:
Under ~/.config/libreoffice/ I have several folders: 6.4.3 6.4.4 etc. There
should actually be only one, namely 4. It seems every minor update create a new
user directory named to the running LO version.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download LibreOffice (fresh) from
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/appimage/
2.Make it executable and run it.
3.

Actual Results:
A new config directory named as LO version is created under
~/.config/libreoffice/


Expected Results:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#GNU.2FLinux states that there
should be one and ONLY ONE directory, namely 4 which corresponds to LO versions
4 to 7.
Create the 4 directory if doesn't exist, other ways use the existing one.
Don't create directories named after Its version, other ways there would be
thousands of dirs by time, keeping in mind that every such directory holds
plenty of other sub directories. 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
