[Libreoffice] XCU and XCS files in recent releases

[Olivier Hallot]

Hi Caolán

Thanks for the tip. I did a simple sitewide snippet, which is apparently 
read at startup ( deducted by reductio ab absurdo: if the xml of the 
snippet is broken, LO does not start), but it does not work as I want 
(and I took it from main.xcd).

The result should be the elimination of the "create new database" in 
Base new database assistant.

Is there a cache thing involved? I have poked around with 
registrymodifications.xcu but got no satisfactory results. So my xcd 
seems inocuous and I must have missed something.

My understandng is that LO reads main.xcd and then the snippets... Is 
that order correct?

Thanks and best regard.

Olivier
