[Libreoffice-qa] Quick summary of the profile's study
Hi all, So as requested during the QA meeting, here is a quick summary of the study [1] that has been conducted by one FR member on the FR lists concerning the profile corruption. -- - based on feedback from users@fr and discuss@fr mailing lists - about 1300 messages have been sicked containing profil in them - version was 4.2.x and 4.3.x - per module concerned, the results are : LibreOffice, Writer, Calc. For 63% of them, resetting the profile didn't solve the problem, for 33% that solved the problem from which for 15% a partial modification solved the problem. The problem was concerning most of the time functionalities, display and crashes. The OS the most concerned was Windows for 75% (not a surprise as a large part of our users are running windows). For 11 times, modifying LibreOffice\4\user\config\soffice.cfg\modules solved a problem met with menus, toolbars, etc... For 7 times on 11, problems were du to extensions. When it was files that were concerned (17 submitted to the list) on 4 was solved by deleting registrymodifications.xcu. Since version 4 there are less problems reported. When it was about crashes, 8 times on 30 renaming the profile solved the problem and was more on old version (3.4 or 3.6). The conclusion was that the profile has a bad reputation but its corruption is not so easy. One reason could be the change between OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice. Another one is the lack of information on how it runs and its different files (example is given on the 'store' file or 'psprint' file where there is no explanation on the file.) So by documenting it, it should be easier to identify and solve the problems that a user may encounter. - [1] http://www.numericoach.net/?Le-profil-de-LibreOffice-est-il-si Cheers Sophie -- Sophie Gautier sophie.gaut...@documentfoundation.org GSM: +33683901545 IRC: sophi Co-founder - Release coordinator The Document Foundation ___ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/

I think you should open enhancement bug reports in TDF bugzilla and attach ODF documents to them. A commenter can attach a new version and it is easy to track the evolution of the proposal.

Re: [Libreoffice-qa] Quick summary of the profile's study
Great analysis...so it does seem like an option to quickly reset/backup would be very good. Maybe a tender possibility.
