Created attachment 60898 [details] sample extension I'll attach a sample extension, that sets the properties for paths (Tools > Options) as follows <node oor:name="Variables"> <prop oor:name="Work"> <value>file://~/Documenten/DATA/LibO</value> </prop> </node> <node oor:name="Paths"> <node oor:name="Temp"> <prop oor:name="WritePath"> <value>file://~/Documenten/DATA/LibO</value> </prop> </node> <node oor:name="Template" oor:op="fuse"> <prop oor:name="WritePath"> <value>file://~/Documenten/DATA/LibO</value> </prop> </node> </node> After installing and restarting the Path "Work" is empty, and the pathes "Temp" and "Template" are not modified (so nothing is added) Using this extension in 3.4.x or 3.3.x does lead to the desired effect. Note! when using the extension, make sure that the paths used exist on your system. ( Note! the path "Temp" is not set, in any version of LibreOffice, also when this prop is added to the node Variables <prop oor:name="Temp"> <value>file://~/Documenten/DATA/LibO</value> </prop> Will submit a separate issue for that )
doesn't work in the oldes 3.5.0 I have installed
Created attachment 60950 [details] working example
Cannot reproduce the problem. With a recent (Linux) libreoffice-3-5-3 build, the attached example1.oxt changes "Tools - Options... - LibreOffice - Paths - My Documents" to "/foo/bar/work" (becomes active only after restart), and adds "/foo/bar/tmpl" as default path for new files to "Tools - Options... - LibreOffice - Paths - Templates".
(In reply to comment #3) > Cannot reproduce the problem. For the record: Where in 3.4 the path value needs to be file://~/foo/bar/work in 3.5 and master it turns out to be without the ~, so file:///foo/bar/work
