Maybe others will also have opinions about both. Best regards, Carl - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Since the .openoffice user profile is not backward compatible with previous 4.1 versions for stored passwords, should we place a warning for users to back up up their user profile in the announce email, blog post, release notes, etc. or not necessary? If we do mention it, we have to make perfectly clear that this will only affect users that enabled the "Openoffice dialog" AND have set a "Master password". These are two options that are NOT enabled by default so only advanced users would use both. That said, for those users, they have to realize that they MUST make a backup before updating IF they intend to downgrade AOO at any point (which is also something common users don't do...) I hope such a warning is not confusing/worrying for common users... you have good ideas what the text should contain. Would you like to try to write a paragraph? We all can then see what needs to be added. My thoughts are using the announcement Blog post and the Release notes and not the emails. I can draft the paragraph but I don't know all the file paths to the profile. Mainly Mac since I don't have one. I think it is basically a warning targeted to users whom us a master password. I'll reply with a draft and hopefully someone can fill that part in for me. For the blog post I propose adding this text after the second paragraph.
