LibreOffice settings not migrated from Leap 42.3

I’ve noticed that, on this machine which was upgraded from Leap 42.3 to Leap 15.0, the LibreOffice configuration in ‘~/.config/libreoffice/4-suse/’ doesn’t seem to have been migrated to the Leap 15.0 location ‘~/.config/libreoffice/4/’.

Does anyone know if a migration tool is available?

Have you tried bluntly copying the content from 4-suse to 4 ?

Maybe I don’t understand what your exact issue is.

Rather than, simply copying the contents of ‘~/.config/libreoffice/4-suse/’ to ‘~/.config/libreoffice/4/’, I moved ‘~/.config/libreoffice/4/’ off to another directory and renamed ‘4-suse’ to ‘4’.

  • That works! – LibreOffice didn’t crash on starting up with the Leap 42.3 configuration data …
  • Thanks; Thank you; and so on …

But, hello, when an operating system is upgraded, one expects migration routines to be in place … >:)
[HR][/HR]Maybe a Release Notes entry is needed to document the need for a sysadmin script to be run on the user’s configuration after the systems have been upgraded …

Probably worth a quick check of any (LibreOffice) Paths that may previously have been explicitly set to “4-suse”

Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> Paths

No, I hadn’t set anything explicitly under Leap 42.3 and, it seems that, the upgrade to Leap 15.0 automagically moved the paths « but not the data » over to “4” – which is why I noticed the issue – my LibreOffice user configuration ( name, address and so on … ) disappeared with Leap 15.0 …
