Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 92815
OO deletes dictionary files from the previous snapshot
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:26:47 UTC
I installed OO into the same folder the previous snapshot from the 3.0 codebase was installed. OO asked to delete previous versions and I agreed. After the installation I found out the only files existed in "j:\OOo-dev\Basis 3.0\share\dict" were the dictionary files I added manually before. All the other files, including dictionary.lst, were deleted. WinXP Pro SP3.
If you agree to uninstall an older version all files that have been installed by the older version will be uninstalled.
It shouldn't be so because the *.lst file was not the original one, it had been modified by me. A newer file shouldn't be deinstalled - it is a bug.
@ is: Is it possible to detect that a file has been touched/modified so it won't uninstalled?
We will have to investigate this.
