So AOO is incapable of, or prohibited from, spawning an external process?
I'm fairly sure it can with a shell execute or something similar.
So an AOO extension is not really an option and the very long standing
problem of our users data being destroyed by this issue continues on
unresolved, because we don't THINK it can be done instead of finding a
way to get it done.
I was only questioning swapping profiles during a session which would happen if
launched from an extension.
I can see how an external program once launched from an extension or internal
command could then shutdown the office if needed to perform the tasks.
With a users permission of course :)
I just threw an idea into the pot for consideration, I never claimed it
was in anyway a perfect, or even workable solution.
I didn't mean to imply anything about your proposal.

Carl

work if it depends on the office running?
As you said you check for it and close it first in yours.

You are correct in saying it is unwise to access a user profile while
AOO is running, which is why my code tests for a running instance of LO
and closes it first. Obviously I would not just close the program if the
code was not exclusively for my own personal use.
I have never developed an edition of the code for Linux or Apple,
because I have watched mailing list, forum complaints and bug reports
for over 10 years and the profile corruption issue seems to be mostly a
Windows issue.

Because OpenOffice shoudn't be running to access on profile.

Hi all
Thank you for the feedback.
I was not thinking of Profile corruption (although the solution for
some issues is resetting the profile which means that some part of
it was corrupted?)
It was more a tool to Backup a working profile and hopefully being
able to import it in another machine.
Having separate check boxes to import/export different parts of the
profile was my main idea (it could also be used as debugging tool
to pinpoint the problem when a corruption actually occurs)
Resetting a profile (as suggested repeatedly) solves some problems
but wastes a lot of time and effort that the user already had
accumulated in his profile.
As an example, it would be really useful to backup the personal
dictionary on one computer and being able to import (merge?) in
another.
I am aware that you can dig in to the profile structure and copy a
file. But a common user would not do that.
Can this be done with an extension?
sure we can create this as an extension. The Main issue is still we
need
to integrate the functionality.
All the best
Peter
Thanks!

I am not sure which issue it is.
There is one script from Hana that resets the user profile. We
need to package it and make it execute by menue
I have the suspicion that the profile corruption is related to
the file corruption issue. On power fail, or sleep a file can
become corrupted when AOO tries to write in the same moment.
It is quite hard to create this.
All the best

Hi all
Is there any extension to Backup/Restore the contents of the
User
Profile?
I don't mean copy files but actually exporting and importing
the
contents?
If there isn't, is any of the developers on this mailing list
interested
in creating one?
I believe this would be a great contribution to all OpenOffice
users...
I volunteer to do any testing required!
I think this has been discussed several times in the last
years, but
nothing ever happened.
I am a bit concerned that this time you didn't even get a
reaction...
It's the festive season, many people aren't reading emails.
Personally, I would prefer an extension (OS independent), but I
could
imagine problems with copying/restoring the profile while AOO
is still
active.
Is the user profile only read at startup and written to at
shutdown or is it more dynamic than that?
If so that could be a problem for doing it during a session,
especially the restore part.
Making a backup copy during the session is probably reasonable
though.
If profile corruption is such a problem, why don't we fix it?
I've been using since Star Office and never once had a corrupt
file or profile.
But I also never suspended a laptop with applications running
either.

Carl
Where are the bug reports?
