Re: Profile Backup/Restore
Hi all Thank you for the feedback. I was not thinking of Profile corruption (although the solution for some issues is resetting the profile which means that some part of it was corrupted?) It was more a tool to Backup a working profile and hopefully being able to import it in another machine. Having separate check boxes to import/export different parts of the profile was my main idea (it could also be used as debugging tool to pinpoint the problem when a corruption actually occurs) Resetting a profile (as suggested repeatedly) solves some problems but wastes a lot of time and effort that the user already had accumulated in his profile. As an example, it would be really useful to backup the personal dictionary on one computer and being able to import (merge?) in another. I am aware that you can dig in to the profile structure and copy a file. But a common user would not do that. Can this be done with an extension? Thanks!

I think this has been discussed several times in the last years, but nothing ever happened. I am a bit concerned that this time you didn't even get a reaction... It's the festive season, many people aren't reading emails. Personally, I would prefer an extension (OS independent), but I could imagine problems with copying/restoring the profile while AOO is still active. Is the user profile only read at startup and written to at shutdown or is it more dynamic than that? If so that could be a problem for doing it during a session, especially the restore part. Making a backup copy during the session is probably reasonable though. If profile corruption is such a problem, why don't we fix it? I've been using since Star Office and never once had a corrupt file or profile. But I also never suspended a laptop with applications running either. best regards, Carl Where are the bug reports?

Re: Profile Backup/Restore
I am not sure which issue it is. There is one script from Hana that resets the user profile. We need to package it and make it execute by menue I have the suspicion that the profile corruption is related to the file corruption issue. On power fail, or sleep a file can become corrupted when AOO tries to write in the same moment. It is quite hard to create this. All the best Peter Am 28.

Re: graphics in /main/extras/source/symbols
Hi all,
I think I have all commits now in place.
My build for Windows is still running, but if anyone could build PR #163
for Linux/macOS that would be great!
