I have finished the renaming from "OpenOffice.org" to "Apache OpenOffice" - see
issue 121388.
Beside corresponding changes in the user interface this change has impact on
the following
important and critical stuff:
- folder/directory names
- package names
- Windows registry key names and values
- ...
As the folder/directory path to the user profile is also changed, the user
profile of a former
installed AOO (or OOo) version is not taken over.
for installation script purposes of add-ons etc., where can one find the
concrete strings for
folder/directory names on the various operating system platforms and the
Windows registry key names
and values?
Unfortunately, there is no single place in the source code. I also had not the
resources to clean
this up during the renaming work - hint, hint, hint :-)
Please have a look at issue 121388, the wiki page referenced in one of the
issue's comments and
the intrinsic changes I have made.
The product installation folder is more or less a form of the $PRODUCTNAME +
[major version
number]. E.g.:
- Windows: "Apache OpenOffice 3"
- Linux: "apache_openoffice3"
On Linux platforms we have also the basis installation folder. It name is found
in
/main/instsetoo_native/util/openoffice.lst
The user profile folder is more or less $PRODUCTNAME/[major version number]/
The Windows registry keys and values can be found in module main/scp2/
I hope that helps a little bit.
Thank you very much Oliver, that definitely helps already!
Though because of your hints to modules, what would be the best tool to locate
them in your version
of AOO via the Internet to learn about the concrete strings for the Linux basis
installation folder,
the profile folder, and especially the Windows registry keys and values?
I am not sure, if I got you right.
I assume that you want to know the "best tool" to locate the corresponding
folders of an actual installation of AOO.
I have no tool at hand - I am just looking "manually" in folders which typically
contain "application installations" and "application settings" on the different
platforms.
Best regards, Oliver.
