I tried several things (like putting the file in `$LO_USER_PROFILE/registry/`) but couldn't get it working. The documentation also doesn't give any hint about where to put things (which is probably another issue worth a bug report). > Ah, but I see, is the problem, that > you want to do it for all users, perhaps for once who haven't necessarily > even run LibreOffice yet on a machine, not just yourself?

(Where with > "sane" I mean having some place outside the app installation ("app bundle" > on macOS) for such modifications.) Not sure what you mean here, but we have : - For Linux : Freedesktop's XDG Base Directory Specification <a href="https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html">https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html</a>. AFAIK, almost all programming languages and GUI frameworks (QT, GTK...) provide APIs or libraries to deal with this. Also, `$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS` is supposed to have a `/etc/<whatever>` config dir which is common to all users. - For macOS : two main APIs are provided : `CFPreferences` and `NSUserDefaults`. "All users" settings generally go in `/Library/Preferences` while specific user settings generally go in `/Users/<user>/Library/Preferences`. Data used by the app are now stored in `/Users/<user>/Containers/<app_bundle_id>/`. - For Windows : I think apps are supposed to use the `%ALLUSERSPROFILE%` for settings common to all users and `%APPDATA%` for specific user settings. So yes, there are definitely sane places outside the app bundle for such modifications :) It would be a real improvement if LibreOffice could conform to the different OSes specifications.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
