minimal registrymodifications.xcu to change the workdir

I'm trying to set a couple of configuration options via the new registry configuration backend, especially the default work path.

I've narrowed the required settings down to what is show in the attached registrymodifications.xcu. Translating that to the registry settings, I end up with what is shown in the attached workdir.reg.

With the registry modifications applied, I see an empty field in the options dialog where the workdir should be. Removing the LibreOffice\org.openoffice.Office.Common\Path\Current\Work tree, the NamedPath['Work'] setting is ignored altogether.

For one, these entries should have a "org.openoffice.Office.Paths" segment instead of just "org.openoffice.Office", and for another, if it still doesn't work then, it might help to simplify the set member notation, using just "Work" instead of "org.openoffice.Office:NamedPath['Work']".

I tried all permutations of your suggestions (changing to org.openoffice.Office:Paths and changing org.openoffice.Office.NamedPath['Work'] to Work) but the field was still blank and nothing regarding the work path was written to the registrymodifications.xcu.

A complete LibreOffice adm(x) template file (or at least wiki page) would help a lot with this bug or the other features like in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33655#c12.

hi Dennis - 

Sorry for the long delay. Is this still a problem with 4.4.0.3 ? If so, I'll try to find a developer to confirm the issue. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
