Hi all
Thank you for the feedback.
I was not thinking of Profile corruption (although the solution for some issues
is resetting the profile which means that some part of it was corrupted?)
It was more a tool to Backup a working profile and hopefully being able to
import it in another machine.
Having separate check boxes to import/export different parts of the profile was
my main idea (it could also be used as debugging tool to pinpoint the problem
when a corruption actually occurs)
Resetting a profile (as suggested repeatedly) solves some problems but wastes a
lot of time and effort that the user already had accumulated in his profile.
As an example, it would be really useful to backup the personal dictionary on
one computer and being able to import (merge?) in another.
I am aware that you can dig in to the profile structure and copy a file. But a
common user would not do that.
Can this be done with an extension?
sure we can create this as an extension. The Main issue is still we need
to integrate the functionality.
All the best
Peter
Thanks!
Pedro

I am not sure which issue it is.
There is one script from Hana that resets the user profile. We need to package
it and make it execute by menue
I have the suspicion that the profile corruption is related to the file
corruption issue. On power fail, or sleep a file can become corrupted when AOO
tries to write in the same moment.
It is quite hard to create this.
All the best

Hi all
Is there any extension to Backup/Restore the contents of the User
Profile?
I don't mean copy files but actually exporting and importing the
contents?
If there isn't, is any of the developers on this mailing list interested
in creating one?
I believe this would be a great contribution to all OpenOffice users...
I volunteer to do any testing required!
I think this has been discussed several times in the last years, but
nothing ever happened.
I am a bit concerned that this time you didn't even get a reaction...
It's the festive season, many people aren't reading emails.
Personally, I would prefer an extension (OS independent), but I could
imagine problems with copying/restoring the profile while AOO is still
active.
Is the user profile only read at startup and written to at shutdown or is it
more dynamic than that?
If so that could be a problem for doing it during a session, especially the
restore part.
Making a backup copy during the session is probably reasonable though.
If profile corruption is such a problem, why don't we fix it?
I've been using since Star Office and never once had a corrupt file or profile.
But I also never suspended a laptop with applications running either.

Carl
Where are the bug reports?
