Bug ID: 162334
Summary: LibreOffice from Microsoft Store can't start with user
profile data from LibreOffice downloaded from
LibreOffice.org
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
On a machine with Windows 10 or 11, LibreOffice installed from Microsoft Store
(from now on LO-MS) only starts if the user profile data (%AppData%\LibreOffice
folder) is empty or have data from the LO-MS. If the user has an old profile
from LibreOffice installed from LibreOffice.org (from now on LO.o), LO-MS can't
start.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. On a Windows 10/11 machine, download, install and use LibreOffice from
LibreOffice.org.
2. Optional: Uninstall LibreOffice from LibreOffice.org.
3. Install LibreOffice from Microsoft Store.
4. Try starting LibreOffice that was installed from Microsoft Store.
Actual Results:
LibreOffice installed from Microsoft Store doesn't start, but LibreOffice
installed from LibreOffice.org starts every time, with all the customizations
in the user profile intact.
Expected Results:
LibreOffice from Microsoft Store should be able to start with and use the user
profile created by LibreOffice from LibreOffice.org to make it an easy
transition.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
Both LibreOffice "editions" should be able to start using the same user profile
folder, keeping the settings in sync between then. There is no need to make
both "editions" run side by side.
An easy workaround for a technical user is erasing the %AppData%\LibreOffice
folder, however all customized settings and quality of life features, such as
recent files list and many others, are lost and not kept in sync between
editions, should the user prefer to go back to the LibreOffice.org "edition"
for any reason.
