Description Tamás Zolnai 2017-03-02 19:26:44 UTC
Description:
On Windows we can set configuration by settings registry. However some settings are not imported related to online update.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create instdir/share/registry/data/registrymodifications.xcu
2. With the following content
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<oor:items xmlns:oor="http://openoffice.org/2001/registry" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Jobs/Jobs/org.openoffice.Office.Jobs:Job['UpdateCheck']/Arguments">
    <prop oor:name="AutoDownloadEnabled" oor:finalized="true">
      <value>false</value>
    </prop>
  </item>
  <item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Jobs/Jobs/org.openoffice.Office.Jobs:Job['UpdateCheck']/Arguments">
    <prop oor:name="AutoCheckEnabled" oor:op="fuse" oor:type="xs:boolean" oor:finalized="true">
      <value>false</value>
    </prop>
  </item>
</oor:items>
3. Start LibreOffice and open Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice -> Online Update
4. 'Download update automatically' and 'Check for updates automatically' options which should be disabled.

Actual Results:  
Online update configuration are not read properly by LibreOffice. The mentioned two options are not disabled, but only the first one.

Expected Results:
Both online update setting should be disabled.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

This is of course LibreOffice registry not the Windows OS.

I see the default C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 5\regsitry\onlineupdate.xcd which has the "AutoCheckEnabled" stanza set "true" with the "AutoDownloadEnabled" stanza set "false".

Adding a registry\data forlder and the registrymodifications.xcu indicated, and starting LibreOffice with clean profile does not toggle the "AutoCheckEnabled" to "false" as proposed.

Not clear to me about the relationship of the registry\data\*.xcu to the  registry\*.xcd -- but it does not work if it is supposed to. So to NEW.

@Tamás, assume you're poking at this, was there anything you need?

It was reported on a private channel, that online update settings can't be set via Windows registry. The example xcu file is a minimal test document pointing out this issue. On Windows, registry settings are converted to a temporary xcu file and this xcu file is merged with other configuration files (e.g. share\registry\onlineupdate.xcd)

Using this registrymodifications.xcu working on the same way as the temporary xcu file.

This is a bug in configmgr/source/winreg.cxx.  For such extension props it must generate an oor:type attribute.
