Instead, if one is using 3.4.1 and decides to update the dictionary
BEFORE updating OpenOffice, there are some usability issues. Everything
will work, no matter what the user chooses, but is the following
scenario acceptable to avoid too many support requests?
Not seeing comments, I'll publish the updated dictionary in a couple of
days. In the end this is not breaking anything, it just produces a Fatal
Error (that is actually not fatal, and solved by simply restarting
OpenOffice) during profile migration.
Of course, 2.B looks like a profile migration bug to me: I've already
chosen to keep my (newer) dictionary and OpenOffice insists on
installing the old one.
Reported as https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=122976
I am working on this issue.
The solution for the 'Fatal Error' is simple and already available - see
the patch attached to the issue.
But, I would like to make a further step. It is a result of a discussion
with Herbert, Andre and Jürgen:
When the user installs an extension (using the Extension Manager) which
is already installed the user is ask what to do. The question will
already contain the corresponding information about the version numbers
of the two extensions. The user gets the same question during the
migration of extensions from a former user profile and during the
installation of the so-called 'bundled' extensions - as it has been
reported in issue 122976.
I propose to remove this user interaction during the migration of
extensions from a former user profile and during the installation of the
so-called 'bundled' extensions. The application will choose the newest
one without user interaction.
Any objections to this proposal?
Best regards, Oliver.
Regards,
Andrea.
