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, <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - The descriptions of Safe Mode options are misleading" href="show_bug.cgi?id=120269">bug 120269</a>) 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.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
