 is it possible to copypaste the config folder from Windows to GnuLinux 

As a general rule of thumb, yes.
The major exceptions are:
* executable and quasi-executable files. (Mainly, but not exclusively
extensions.)
* Junk that the OS wants/requires.  (This is mainly, but not exclusively
a Windows thing.)

Galleries don't always take as expected.
Fonts don't work. (I have no idea why they are in that directory in the
first place.  Unless the  config folder I tried transferring has things
left over from OOo 1.x.)

and to Mac?

I don't have a Mac, and don't have access to a Mac.  Pre Mac OS X, you
couldn't do that, because a file was constructed from two different,
separate strings of bits.

Since Mac OS X is based upon BSD, it should be possible, with the same
caveats as switching between Linux and Windows.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] My main machine is now a Mac

2011-09-06 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
Good to hear :)  Does it have the regular Mac keyboard or does it still have a 
Windows key?  Mouse with 2 keys?  


If i scrapped the Windows logo off my keyboard and carefully painted an Ubuntu 
logo instead could i get in trouble with MS?  Also i was going to buy an Ubuntu 
roll-up keyboard but noticed it had the Windows icon on it's Windows key (and 
it 
didn't have a number-pad which is the main bit i usually need at work). Lol

Anyway, it's good to hear another person has a Mac :)
Regards from
Tom :)

Mine is a MacBook Air, but most of the time I use it with a full-size
external Mac keyboard (which is old enough to have an Apple key) and
an external Microsoft mouse instead of an Apple mouse. It will take me
awhile to get used to the Apple mouse.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] My main machine is now a Mac

2011-09-06 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
Errr, is it possible to copypaste the config folder from Windows to GnuLinux 
and to Mac?  The folder in GnuLinux is something like 

~/.libreoffice/3/user

Would it be possible to have that folder on a usb-stick and then whichever 
machine you are on could use the same folder?

Also if 2 people use the same login on the same machine could they have 
separate 
user-profiles?  I think question is better for the Users List so i will ask it 
there instead of here.
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi :)
Ahh, that's great that you can still use a 'normal' mouse.  It's less of a 
hassle switching between the different machines then :)

Tom :)
