Description devnulll 2020-05-22 18:28:26 UTC
Description:
Under ~/.config/libreoffice/ I have several folders: 6.4.3 6.4.4 etc. There should actually be only one, namely 4. It seems every minor update create a new user directory named to the running LO version.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download LibreOffice (fresh) from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/appimage/
2.Make it executable and run it.
3.

Actual Results:
A new config directory named as LO version is created under ~/.config/libreoffice/


Expected Results:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#GNU.2FLinux states that there should be one and ONLY ONE directory, namely 4 which corresponds to LO versions 4 to 7.
Create the 4 directory if doesn't exist, other ways use the existing one.
Don't create directories named after Its version, other ways there would be thousands of dirs by time, keeping in mind that every such directory holds plenty of other sub directories. 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
