Hi :) >From the sounds of it the 4.2.0 might have addressed some of these concerns, at least on Windows.
However i thought that the User Profile kept a lot of the users settings and configurations and that the User Profile could be copied or shared between users or even over a network. A new install of LibreOffice doesn't touch the User Profile except to add stuff for new features. Part of the joy of using OpenSource is surely that reasonably sized companies can employ their own devs, even if it's very part-time or for just a couple of months, and still make a huge saving on costs vs MS license fees. For smaller companies it might be possible to offer rewards through crowd-sourcing/funding. This sort of approach gives companies the ability to target specific areas. Also there seem to be a lot of lurking lurgies that Sun and then Oracle were completely disinterested in solving but have already been solved by TDF or are on the way, or could easily be started without being blocked by the company that owns LibreOffice. Similarly with Apache OpenOffice although LibreOffice seems to be developing far faster. If a 6 year-old problem has not yet been solved then maybe post it as a new problem in LibreOffice because it's difficult to pick through old bugs that might have been solved already just through doing the code-cleanup Regards from Tom :) .
