Yes ideally it should be pulled from the OS but even that data isnt always correct, because users dont always put their real or complete name into the OS's user account. But when it comes to creating documents and those documents having their real name visible in it (e.g. in a comment), users are more likely to put it in, which is why even MSO shows a dialog on first run asking for it. Also LO's pulling the name from the OS and parsing it based on a space character doesnt take into account when user's have two first names and a space between it. Also it leaves the initials field blank. > (In reply to Yousuf (Jay) Philips from comment #5) > > My suggesting to use the existing welcome dialog > It doesn't exist anymore. Was killed by kendy back in 2010. I'm assuming it still exists in git if it had to be resurrected as it used to be, but as previously stated, it could be done with a completely new dialog and include features like bug 69042. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
