<pre>Description:
I had LO 6.1.3.2 and just installed 6.1.4.2. Some compnents of the previous
installation, including user-defined dictionary and macros, gracefully reappear
in the new installation, since they had been stored in my home folder
(../.config/libreoffice/4/user/...). Other components, in particular the
templates that I had defined, are not preserved, since they are in
usr/lib/libreoffice/share/template/common, while the new installation is in
/opt/libreoffice6.1. This is both inconsistent programming and a nuisance to
the user.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Leave your old LO version untouched.
2. Install the current version.
3. Start LO Writer.
4. Open the templates folder.
Actual Results:
It only contains those templates shipped with LO.
Expected Results:
It should contain the templates defined by the user in his previous version.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Suggestion: Either store all user-defined components in his home directory so
they survive program updates; or else, when installing a new version, see to it
that user-defined components are copied to their directories.</pre>
