[Issue 126945] New: Access to user profile folder
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126945
Issue ID: 126945
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Access to user profile folder
Product: Installation
Version: 4.0.0
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 (lowest)

Hi,
Not found here the same request.
Navigate to user profile folder through hidden folders is a difficult procedure
for lot of people.
Would it be possible to access the user profile folder directly as possible
with Thunderbird or Firefox via assistance informations ?
I think it would be a real improvement.
Regards

The problem is that this function can't be inner to AOO. Because the user
profile is locked when the program is launched.
Maybe OP talks about similar function like running in safe-mode:

That's a great idea, along with other means/caveats to provide casual users
with the information needed to work reliably (e.g., reveal extensions on all
files, manage associations, reset the profile, find the correct Java JRE,
locating documents recently-used and not actually lost, ...). [This is not
sarcasm, I think all of these things are overdue.)
There is an issue (that I will go looking for) to provide a means to
automatically reset the user profile. Visiting the profile or editing it does
not make much sense in the case of AOO.
Would it be sufficient to provide the user with means to backup and reset the
user profile?
As a stop-gap, we could provide a separate utility for monkeying with the
profile. That might be easier (and an upgrade of AOO could rely on it
programmatically at some point).
Please share your thoughts.

Did you read this report?
Target is still set to "none".
For me, such development is not a priority.
Reseting profile needed is at 90% comes from spell checker problem
So wait next build with this enhancement: see issue 126762

Good point!
That's another reason for having a standalone utility (installed with AOO) that
can be run separately. It has value beyond testing and proof-of-concept.
The utility also needs to be able to shut down a stuck quick starter.
