Hi Florin,
Hi,
 Sorry for the previous empty mail.
 All this quoting is not necessary, I never asked how jodconverter
 behaves nor do I trust the doc without testing it ;) My point is that
 just relying on that upgrade or specification didn't do the trick and we
 still have the issue. Please test the use case. :)
 
What do you think I have been testing for last year or so? :)
I have tested OfficeImporter in a lot of scenarios (mostly on linux boxes
though) but I cannot do exhaustive testing on all the environments. I know
we have a problem with OfficeImporter on fresh boxes but you have to
understand that currently I cannot do a lot of investigations regarding this
issue. An issue like this cannot be fixed just by going through the code, I
need some time to investigate. Please understand me, it's about priority,
not about technical details.
Why I pointed out the docs was because this problem never came across me
until recently, so without getting someone's clear confirmation that we
_really_ have an important issue, I'd rather not spend time on investigating
it.
  The server fails to start when you call the start()
method in
 DefaultOpenOffice manager if you don't provide an valid folder.
 Note that there is a difference between profileDir and
 templateProfileDir which you set in the configuration. Maybe you could
 investigate this.
 Since this is not related to the current thread, i propose to move the
 discussion on jira. This is a low priority issue as it only happens on a
 fresh machine.
 
I agree, and I plan to investigate this issue (and there are several other
issues on my list), I just need to find time for them.

   With the
-nofirststartwizard flag you don't need a profile dir.
