Hi :) The C:\Users\"my username"\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\3\user contains your settings, extensions, spell-checkers, galleries and all that so re-naming the 3 one forces LibreOffice to make a whole new set of settings. It also hides your extensions, spell-checkers and stuff.
When you un-install LibreOffice or OpenOffice (and Thunderbird & Firefox work the same way too) that config folder is left on your machine because it's likely that they contain things you might still want to have access to at some point, eg back-ups of documents, pictures and so on. It is meant to make it easier to upgrade the program as the newer release will find your old settings, dictionaries and so on so you don't need to re-download and reinstall all that. Settings that might cause problems almost always get overwritten so you might find a few changes. I have even had scenarios where i have been able to install an older version of a Gnu&Linux operating system, reinstalled an older version of my web-browser and then opened the web-browser to find it remembered all my tabs and even had a half-filled in form still there! Not quite what i had expected and not something i would rely on! So keeping the path C:\Users\"my username"\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice intact is often very useful but there shouldn't have been anything left in the "Program Files" folder afaik. The Windows registry is notoriously problematic even the experts tend to leave it alone or get their fingers burned and to make it worse a lot of programs that claim to fix it are actually malware. It's interesting to hear the "PDF/A-1a" option actually helps because so far it only seems to have caused problems, not fixed them! It is good to hear soemthing positive about it for a change :) Thanks and regards from Tom :) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Fwd-Libre-Office-3-4-2-3-43-crashing-on-saving-as-PDF-tp3335166p3341537.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
