[Libreoffice] Templates path, move language independent stuffs to common folder

[KAMI911 KAMI911]

Hi Andras, Michael, Caolan!


I would like to share my findings.

1)

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37597 is not related to
my problem. It seems templates are checked only only one level not
recursively in the subdirs.
Maybe a fix need for it.

2) Michael, en-US forlder in added by report designer:

extensions/report-builder/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Paths.xcu
<node oor:name="%origin%/../../../../../template" oor:op="fuse"/>
To fix it we should change this path to
%origin%/../../../../../template/en-US/wizard

3) Related to templates path that I would like to change

The current settings are in
officecfg/registry/schema/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xcs:

<prop oor:name="Template" oor:type="oor:string-list">
  <info>
     <author>MBA</author>
     <desc>Specifies the templates originate from these folders and
sub-folders.</desc>
   </info>
  <value oor:separator=":">$(insturl)/share/template/$(vlang):$(insturl)/share/template:$(userurl)/template</value>


<prop oor:name="Template" oor:type="oor:string-list">
   <info>
     <desc>Specifies the default directory where all provided
templates are located in folders and sub-folders.</desc>
   </info>
   <value oor:separator=":">$(insturl)/share/template/$(vlang):$(insturl)/share/template:$(userurl)/template</value>

(also I did small changes in scp2 module too.

When I set "$(insturl)/share/template/$(vlang):$(insturl)/share/template/common:$(userurl)/template"
in Common.xcs I expected to Settings/Path UI comes up with all three
paths like this:
/opt/libreoffice3.4/basis3.4/share/template/hu (hu is my current UI language)
/opt/libreoffice3.4/basis3.4//share/template/common
/home/kami/.oxygenoffice/3/user/template

but I only get /home/kami/.oxygenoffice/3/user/template

Then I added as
"$(insturl)/share/template/$(vlang)/:$(insturl)/share/template/common/:$(userurl)/template/",
so I  closed I path with "/". then I get this
/opt/libreoffice3.4/basis3.4/share/template/hu (hu is my current UI language)
/opt/libreoffice3.4/basis3.4//share/template/common
/home/kami/.oxygenoffice/3/user/template
/home/kami/.oxygenoffice/3/user/template

So are we confident about leaving closing "/"is the good practice?

So finally I tested with:

  <value oor:separator=":">$(insturl)/share/template/$(vlang)/:$(insturl)/share/template/common</value>

And I got the desired path settings:
/opt/libreoffice3.4/basis3.4/share/template/hu (hu is my current UI language)
/opt/libreoffice3.4/basis3.4//share/template/common
/home/kami/.oxygenoffice/3/user/template

What is your opinion? Why closing "/" matters? Can I commit patch for
it in master? Then I would like to get it to 3-4 if this is the good
behavior.

Regards,
KAMI
