--- Comment #4 from John <[email protected]> --- I was raising this as problem where AOO silently deletes user macros and/or configuration data without warning and without keeping a backup of the deleted file. I fortunately was backing up the profile witgh my normal backup when it frst happened to me. My experience is that the profile folders themselves are rarely damaged - what does seem to get broken is registrymodifications.xcu. Should the default action therefore be not to overwrite the folders? Or could a simple implementation be to check when rewriting the profile to see if the existing files are different from those about to be written back. If so, the user presumably has some information stored in them so ask him if he wants to keep them. If he says no, then save the current information as a backup, and restore back the new file. It is more of a wish list than a "it affects lots of users now". People only usually reset the profile following guidance from the forum where the advice is rename ...\user to ...\user_old so that lost data can be copied back. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
