The configuration file, with custom Templates and Pictures folders being set

I'm trying to set up a more sensible default folder for pictures via xcu files.
While I managed to set a new default folder for templates, the same structure does not work for pictures. 

I see the setting is changed in the expert configuration window, but not in the Paths panel. The Insert -> Picture command also brings up the default folder.

I'm attaching the configuration file in question and screenshots. The LO versions affected are 5.3 alpha on Ubuntu and 5.1.4 on Windows.

Does the config file go in share/registry/data?

I tested with 5.2.2.2 and 5.3 master build / Windows 7, and, while I can confirm the main observation, for me in the Options - LibreOffice - Paths dialog the Templates field contains both the original entry, and the one set through the xcu file. Then by clicking Edit... I can select which one to be the default of those two.

This seems to be influenced by the IsSinglePath property in expert configuration, if that is set to false for Graphic path in the xcu file, both entries are visible there as well.

I don't know how to get rid of the original entry via config file. How did you manage to do that for Templates?
Comment 7 Aron Budea 2016-10-26 06:46:52 UTC
Btw, if I try to edit the entries overriden via xcu in expert configuration, LO exits abruptly, like in bug 101976 (even in 5.3 master build).
