View Full Version : [other] syncing openoffice toolbar layouts?

I've successfully managed to set up a home dir syncing solution with unison, including firefox bookmarks. I've been unsuccessful finding exactly what needs to be synced for the layout of openoffice apps to transfer over.

For example, I customize most of my toolbars and arrange them in a non-standard way; this is time consuming, I fiddle with it frequently, and manually propagating those changes to my other computer is a hassle.

Does anyone know where/which config file stores these toolbars and their layout in openoffice, so that I can add that file/folder to my sync list?

Regards,

David

I don't know where the defaults are stored but I have noticed that all custom toolbars & their layouts are stored with the document.

Save an empty document as a template.
To start a new document with the same layouts, select template & then the name of the template you saved.

In version 3.1.1 my templates are saved in
~/.openoffice.org/3/user/template/
