Hi :) I think it might be best to file a bug-report with Arch or Arch's tweaked LibreOffice.
The .libreoffice is a standard across 'all' GNu&Linux distros. I think for most distros that means the path is /home/username/.libreoffice.org/3/user/ Arch seems to add an extra folder and then tweaks most apps/packages to drop their . that makes the folder a hidden folder. I don't know why they don't do that for LibreOffice so the folder ends up being /home/username/.config/.libreoffice.org/3/user/ I really like they extra depth in Arch because both my /home and /home/username folders tend to get filled with tons of stuff that i have no idea about what it all does so it's trickier to find things i do want to access. So i think it would be awkward for TDF to maintain 2 versions of LibreOffice, one for all the other distros and another for Arch family. I think the easiest place to do this would be in Arch somewhere. I don't know tho. What do you think would be best?

Distribution is Arch. The build instructions are here: http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/libreoffice I don't see anything specifying the user config dir, so I assume what I have is the default. > --- On Wed, 14/9/11, Matthew Monaco<[email protected]> wrote: > > From: Matthew Monaco<[email protected]> > Subject: [libreoffice-users] poor default config path > To: [email protected] > Date: Wednesday, 14 September, 2011, 2:02 > > Why is the default config located at ~/.config/.libreoffice? > > I appreciate it being under .config so as not to add to the clutter of my > home directory, but is the "." necessary?
