MacOSX: How to get rid of the dialog "The last time you opened ..."
?
Hi there,
experimenting different versions of AOO on MacOSX (10.9.1) I ended up getting an AOO popup reading:
"The last time you opened OpenOffice, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to
try to reopen its windows again?". No matter which button ("Don't Reopen", "Reopen") I press the
dialog remains and in another window AOO starts.
Chosing the menu "Tools -> Customize..." yields no reaction.
Choosing the menu "OpenOffice -> Preferences...." is grayed out (maybe the Java settings need
adjustment as I have installed Apple's Java after receiving the new Mac).
When closing all instances of AOO the dialog window remains on screen. I need to forcefully kill the
soffice process, either interactively or using "kill -9" on the command line.
---
The next time I remove, install any version of AOO (in my case 4.0.0 and 4.0.1) the above repeats.
Is there anything I could do to stop AOO from thinking to reopen the windows again? If it is stored
with the user's profile, where is that user profile located on the Mac such that I can delete it
(assuming that the Customize... and Preferences... menu items will become active again)?
TIA for any pointers!

Rony, please keep a copy of the wrong state. We were rather sure to have
fixed this with
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119006
but apparently 4.0.1 still suffers from a similar problem, so the bug
has been reopened and any feedback from a user who knows what he is
doing is welcome.
Regards,
Andrea.

You need to delete the folder "org.openoffice.script.savedState". It is in the "Saved
Application State" folder in your User/Library.
See this post on the user forum for detailed instructions:
