--- Comment #5 from Howard Johnson <[email protected]> ---
@Xisco, The last time I was asked to reset my LibreOffice user profile I recall
that I had trouble recovering.
(This was also partly because I have some customization that are somewhat
difficult to re-install and setup, which if they get messed up now might cause
an extended system interruption for my databases. I'm trying to avoid that.)
So, while https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile says:
a) to back it up, and
b) how to start to reset it,
it does not (yet) say :
c) HOW to back up the LibreOffice user profile, nor does it say
d) HOW to restore from one's backups later.
So before I perform this reset I have some important questions for you or
someone there:
1) First, when you say "reset your user LibreOffice profile" do you mean "Reset
to factory settings", (as there are 3 reset choices shown in the Safe Mode
dialog window)?
2) Next, how is the best way to properly back it up and restore this profile
directly. Do I just copy the tree and then restore the tree? (This may seem
like an obvious thing to you, but given the gravity of it, I'm checking with
you to make absolutely certain that I get this right.)
I'm assuming that LO should not be running when either of the next two steps
are performed:
i) In linux does this fully back it up (assuming default location)?
cd ~/.config/libreoffice
cp -a 4 4~
ii) Then after testing here can I fully restore it from my backup with this?
cd ~/.config/libreoffice
rm -r 4
mv 4~ 4
I hope that this info can later be added to:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile I think.
Thanks for the help! Sorry, for the dumb question, but experience has taught
me to check first when doing things that are dangerous. :-)
