[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 148955] Display the full path name of the .so[cgb] file in the Area dialog
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148955 --- Comment #4 from Heiko Tietze --- To comment on your idea: Showing the full name somewhere is not a good solution as your workflow is very special and most users are not interested in this information. The position can be defined via Tools > Options > Path. Note: Next to the combobox to pick a color palette is a direct access to all color palettes located on our extension site for quick and easy installation on your system (see alsohttps://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2016/11/11/additions-to-libreoffice/). And for the mentioned export extension see https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2017/03/29/libreoffice-extension-export-custom-palette/ -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148955 Heiko Tietze changed: What|Removed |Added Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |WONTFIX --- Comment #3 from Heiko Tietze --- Don't mess with internal files :-) IIRC, the correct position of user-defined content is /libreoffice/4/gallery. Or is it /libreoffice/4/user/config? Anyway, the recommended way to deal with own palettes is the user palette, meaning you always add colors to this palette called "custom". I created an extension [1] to export this "custom" palette under a variable name. Load the extension to make it available as another entry in the list of color palettes. And don't forget to share.
