--- Comment #4 from Justin L <[email protected]> --- Created attachment 110748 --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=110748&action=edit patch which reads the copied registrymodifications.xcu into the memory copy This patch is against 4.5 master. The code was lifted from migration.cxx and adapted to fit this scenario. By far, the best alternative to "fixing" this is to write a configuration extension. However, that is a HUGE, daunting step for your average sysadmin to take. Documentation is sparse, debugging ability is NIL, intimate knowledge of XML in general and LibreOffice configuration in particular is required. The barrier to entry is extremely high. (I wrote it off as too difficult initially, a co-worker implemented it successfully 'by luck', and even after that I still failed to successfully modify our extension to add another change and gave up after a few hours. I finally got it right the last time I tried.) The proposed bug fix reduces the barrier to entry significantly. An administrator only needs to know about the existence of the .../presets folder. Then they can simply copy a "known good" profile into that location. They don't need to identify the specific XML entries for the settings they want to change, and they don't need to mess with individual's profiles or scripting. (The big downside compared to a config extension is that changes can't be made after a profile already exists, but perhaps you could get away with just deleting individual's profiles, and then they start with a fresh one automatically.) To lower the barrier even further (so a sysadmin doesn't have to know how to properly "prune" his template registrymodifications.xcu file), I'm trying to build in some "sysprep" type of exclusions that should be removed since they don't apply to a default profile (like document history/recovery, personal information, etc.). I think it will be highly beneficial for simple sysadmins (like myself) to have this feature implemented. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
