Paths in Tools/Options missing after PU3
I have SO8 installed on my network.
For performance reasons I found that SO8 was much faster if I put the dict folder on the local hard drive
and pointed out the new path to it in Tools/Options/StarOffice/Paths.
After upgrading to PU3 the 15 paths I had has been reduced to 5:
Gallery, Graphics, My Documents, Backups and Temporary Files.
How can I get the other paths back (short of reverting back to PU2)?

All the updated files are saved with the *.9036 extension. My suspicion is that if you can find out which file contains the folder definitions, then restoring the backed up file would restore the directory pointers. If I have time I will try the PowerDesk File Finder to see if I can which file/s the folder information is kept.

Hi,
there's an explanation how to find those missing entries on http://www.ooowiki.de/UndokumentierteOptionen (excerpt below). It's in German but the essence is to check for the paths in "$HOME/.openoffice.org2/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/common.xcu".
hope that helps

In der Version OOo2.0.3 sind gegen黚er den vorigen Versionen einige Einstellm鰃lichkeiten unter Extras → Optionen → OpenOffice.org → Pfade weggefallen, weil man durch falsche Eintr鋑e und L鰏chungen OOo unbrauchbar machen konnte. In den folgenden Versionen werden f黵 einige dieser Einstellm鰃lichkeiten neue, sichere Methoden eingef黨rt. Die Pfade lassen sich jedoch noch immer von Hand in der Konfigurationsdatei $HOME/.openoffice.org2/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/common.xcu eintragen.
Beispiel:
<node oor:name="Path">
<node oor:name="Current">
<prop oor:name="AutoCorrect" oor:type="oor:string-list">
<value>$(inst)/share/autocorr $(user)/autocorr file:///E:/myoffice/autocorr</value>
</prop>
<prop oor:name="AutoText" oor:type="oor:string-list">
<value>$(inst)/share/autotext/$(vlang) $(user)/autotext file:///E:/myoffice/autotext<>
</prop>
<prop oor:name="Gallery" oor:type="oor:string-list">
<value>$(inst)/share/gallery $(user)/gallery file:///E:/myoffice/gallery</value>
</prop>
<prop oor:name="Template" oor:type="oor:string-list">
<value>$(inst)/share/template/$(vlang) $(user)/template file:///E:/myoffice/template<>
</prop>
<prop oor:name="UserDictionary" oor:type="xs:string">
<value>file:///E:/myoffice/wordbook</value>
</prop>
</node>
</node>
