Of course it does. You have to bypass it.

I tried several things (like putting the file in `$LO_USER_PROFILE/registry/`)
but couldn't get it working. The documentation also doesn't give any hint about
where to put things (which is probably another issue worth a bug report).

Not sure what you mean here, but we have :
- For Linux : Freedesktop's XDG Base Directory Specification
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html.
AFAIK, almost all programming languages and GUI frameworks (QT, GTK...) provide
APIs or libraries to deal with this. Also, `$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS` is supposed to
have a `/etc/` config dir which is common to all users.
- For macOS : two main APIs are provided : `CFPreferences` and
`NSUserDefaults`. "All users" settings generally go in `/Library/Preferences`
while specific user settings generally go in
`/Users//Library/Preferences`. Data used by the app are now stored in
`/Users//Containers//`.
- For Windows : I think apps are supposed to use the `%ALLUSERSPROFILE%` for
settings common to all users and `%APPDATA%` for specific user settings.
So yes, there are definitely sane places outside the app bundle for such
modifications :)
It would be a real improvement if LibreOffice could conform to the different
OSes specifications.

This is a similar problem to the one we have for lang packs, which modify the in-bundle notarisation and cause the OS to flag it as unsafe. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139233 --- Comment #3 from Jan-Marek Glogowski --- Just FYI: LO configuration is normally deployed using an extension, like in https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:LibreOffice_config_extension_writing.pdf Now AFAIK "unopkg --shared" extension deployment is broken on MacOS and you normally have to re-register shared extensions after update, so it's a bit inconvenient that way, but Munich / LiMux used it for years for deployment, so at least it's proven on Linux and Windows. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Well, adding or editing files inside the app bundle is definitely wrong. If
that works, it means that the OS apparently doesn't check the integrity of an
app bundle as well as it should. I would expect and hope that doing
modifications inside the app bundle would break its digital signature.
Anyway, I am not sure why this would be a macOS-only enhancement request. Can
the required functionality not be achieved on other platforms either by just
editing files in the user profile? Ah, but I see, is the problem, that you want
to do it for all users, perhaps for once who haven't necessarily even run
LibreOffice yet on a machine, not just yourself? It is quite possible that
there is no sane way to do that on any platform. (Where with "sane" I mean
having some place outside the app installation ("app bundle" on macOS) for such
modifications.)
