OO registrymodifications.xcu
A question has arisen on the en-Forum concerning file
registrymodifications.xcu
On a newly installed OpenOffice this starts off at about 22kb. Over time it grows (and grows...) I'm looking at one that is 386kb and have had reports of one that nears 500kb. In addition to the various housekeeping settings for the new installation of OO, is it necessary that it should continue to grow?
Can someone please enlighten me about this? (A brief explanation will be adequate!)

Thanks for the further information, Andrea. The reason for asking is that one Forum Volunteer (John_Ha) has a suspicion that many of the occasional problems with OpenOffice which are cured by deleting or renaming the User Profile, thereby causing OO to generate a new default profile, could be cured equally well (and without loss of customisation) by simply reinstalling registrymodifications.xcu. Over time we may need to consider what purpose (if any) the "ancient" history stored in registrymodifications.xcu serves

I have many of them (several different user profiles), peaking at ~290KB
for the version I use most often.
If I pass it through an XML pretty-printer (such as "xmllint --format")
I see many XML fragments about files that I opened: not only those
listed in recent documents, but hundreds of them, possibly every single
fine that I opened with this version. These XML fragments might explain
the constant growth.
Regards,
Andrea.
