Bug ID: 162866
Summary: LO 24.2.1 "acor_fr-FR.dat" not read by LO 24.2.5 and
later versions
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Base
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Since 2020, I have been constantly adding autocorrections via
"Tools>AutoCorrect>AutoCorrect Options" to ensure that each of my errors is
directly corrected. My file "acor_fr-FR.dat" is now, to give you an idea, 6,000
KB.
To ensure that this file is shared with my other devices, I inserted it into a
Cloud folder (OneDrive) and changed – in
"Tools>Options>LibreOffice>Paths>AutoCorrect" – the path to the file so that
all my devices can access it and update it.
This lasted from 2020 to 2024. However, since downloading LO version 24.2.5
(and later versions), LibreOffice no longer makes the link with the edited
"acor_fr-FR.dat" file of 6,000 KB. The list of autocorrections displayed in
"Tools>AutoCorrect>AutoCorrect Options" is now empty.
When I delete the 6,000 KB file, the list comes back, but it is the vanilla
list, the basic one that is only 20 KB.
I then put the initial access path back – thinking that it could come from my
cloud – and replaced the basic file with my 6,000 KB file. Empty list, again.
When I reset my user profile and replace the file by the 6,000 KB one, same
result.
So I uninstalled LO 24.2.5 and reinstalled LO 24.2.1, with success: LibreOffice
reads my 6,000 KB "acor_fr-FR.dat" file without any problem. The list is full
of my autocorrections since 2020.
However, I am condemned to stay on LO 24.2.1...
There is on Ask a French explanation of the problem before I understood it was
linked to the update:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/desynchronisation-entre-fichier-dat-et-autocorrection/110446
Is it due to a "code" changing into the data files of LibreOffice with LO
24.2.5 and later versions ? Maybe...
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Extract the file "acor_fr-FR.dat" from the LibreOffice 24.2.1 or precedent
version (important)
2. Replace the file "acor_fr-FR.dat" of LibreOffice 24.2.5 or later version by
the extracted file "acor_fr-FR.dat" from the LibreOffice 24.2.1
3. Open Tools>AutoCorrect>AutoCorrect options
Actual Results:
The list of autocorrections is empty.
Expected Results:
The list of autocorrections full with all the added autocorrections created via
LibreOffice before the version LO 24.2.5.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
It is maybe not a bug but just a "code" change.
However, I would love to know how to adapt my file for the later versions of
LO. Because autocorrections is a thing! I can’t write without anymore.
