And where do we promise that what you are trying to do would work? You should at least explain what dropbox is and what you actually are doing, step by step, and whether the same problem can be reproduces without using dropbox. Actually, we can keep this open as an enhancement request, sure. I don't think you promiste synchornized settings. I agree it's an enhancement to make it more user-friendly - and especially using the portable version it shouldn't be necessary to recreate settings once used on another system. Dropbox simply makes sure the files in its folder are synced on more than one system. That way you can install LibreOffice once in a Dropbox folder and LibreOffice will be synced to the other systems used by that dropbox account owner. But it seems that settings aren't in the install folder (which on a Windows system makes sense) but it's hardly user-friendly that you can't easily transfer all those settings - carefully adjusted after maybe months of use - to another system / installation. Please use LibreOffice Portable, it's built for that purpose: http://portableapps.com/support/libreoffice_portable#local_settings |
