Where to place autocorrect options for LibreOffice Writer in Fedora 39?

I recently moved to fedora from Ubuntu and I am using LibreOffice. In particular, I have prepared a file (acor_en-US.dat) with all the auto-corrections I use most often. In Ubuntu, I can copy this file into ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/autocorr/ and assure that all the machines I use will have the same set of auto-corrections. But in Fedora this does not work.

How can I set the L.O. auto-corrections in Fedora?

Thank you

That should be the file location, at least it is on my Fedora 40 workstation. Libre office is installed as rpm on my system.

I have Libreoffice flatpak and the path would be :
/home/<user>/.var/app/org.libreoffice.LibreOffice/config/libreoffice/4/user/autocorr

Thank you but I don’t have that folder. LO was installed by default in my F. 39…

As I said, my installation is on Fedora Workstation, was installed as default and is from the package repo, so not flatpak. Currently I have the directory you are looking for as indicated below

[jakfrost ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user]$ eza
additions  autocorr  autotext  backup  basic  config  database  extensions  gallery  GraphicsRenderTests.log  pack  psprint  registrymodifications.xcu  store  uno_packages  wordbook

Note the autocorr directory …

As this is the users home dir, it is theirs (yours) to write to, unless of course this is a Live image, then no data is persistent.

No, it is a proper installation. Does it matter if the original file was made in Ubuntu? (it should be the same for LO, regardless of the OS…)

I cannot see why it would.

Agree :100:

You may have to chown the file though, if all you did was copy it in. Your user may not be the owner in that case.

Thank you but also was not the case. I changed the ownership but all remained the same…
