Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 26214
Request option to import/export settings
Last modified: 2014-02-19 09:38:35 UTC
Request option to import/export settings (the contents of the Tools->Options and Tools->Configure dialogs) to a single file for importing into another installation. Would like to configure OOo and export settings across platforms (i.e. Windows to Linux, etc) or to different machines. Thanks
TM->BH: Please have a look, thanks !
this feature should be forwards & backwards compatible - if target installation of oo.org doesn't support some of options/features (or they are obsolete) it should succesfully import others and warn user that some of the settings were not set (with an ability to view a list of options that were not applied). when exporting and importing there should be checkboxes for custom dictionaries and other things that might increase target file; there should be a way to import settings silently (probably some commandline switch); resulting file should be human readable and support comments (probably archived - similar to oo.org file formats), so that some settings can be removed or commented out - this way only those options specified in that file would be set.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
