Move ~/Library to ~/Library.bak and reboot. Did you look in ~/Library/Application Support/? Also, some misbehaved apps but their folders right into ~/Library/ (though mostly Apple and Mozilla apps do this). If it still doesn’t work, the files that are causing the problem aren't in ~/Library, if it does work, you missed something. I seem to recall that I found OpeneOffice littered a lot of stuff on my drive, and I was still finding errant files years after I un-intstalled it. > ps: The application is OpenOffice.org (and LibreOffice) and the bug is: when > I write a file name with non ascii letters then the non ascii parts are > replaced with "?" and when I try to open a file with non ascii characters in > the path then the application says that the file does not exist.

No clue what might have caused that. -- I am by nature made for my own good, not my own evil _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
