Hi all,
On checking the folder out, it seems as though it
contains a lot more than just preferences, so I would
recommend either putting it all into Application
Support or putting the preferences in the preferences
folder and everything else in the Application Support
folder.
the OOo users folder contains - as far as I can tell - three types of data:
1. Copies of files in the Applications bundle, which then can be
modified by the user
2. Configuration / Preferences files
3. Caches (user/config/imagecache, user/registry/cache)
For #2, Library/Preferences/OpenOffice.org 2.0 should be o.k..
For #3, Library/Cache/OpenOffice.org 2.0 would be optimal, I don't know
whether it is possible yet to split them out of the tree
I think File of type #1 also should go into
Library/Preferences/OpenOffice.org 2.0, because if people only save the
content of "Preferences", they would loose their additions to
dictonaries etc.. AFAIK there is work in progress to extend the
components using those files to be able to merge a shared and a user
specific file, so that the files in the users directory only need to
contain the differences.
Addons and other extensions should probably go into "Application
Support", but again it is not clear to me if this can be done at all in
OOo 2.0.
So what about Library/OpenOffice.org 2.0 as a compromise ? Even Apple
Apps (Mail and iMovie for sure) do it this way.

Oliver
