Where Does Calligra Store Config and Autosaves?
Where Calligra keeps configs, autosaves and templates on Linux.
Last updated
Calligra follows KDE config homes: per-app rc files under the config tree plus shared data like templates under apps subfolders. Modern builds use ~/.config while older ones used ~/.kde/share/config.
GUI layouts live in XML rc files per shell and part, hand editable for toolbar tweaks. Sheets templates ship as .kst under the tables templates path. Autosaves hide as dot files next to your documents.
Where Calligra stores this, by platform
~/.config/calligrarc
Per-app rc files plus shared templates and data. Reset single apps by removing their rc with everything closed. Newer builds prefer ~/.config over legacy ~/.kde trees.
Frequently asked questions
How do I reset one Calligra app to defaults?
Remove the app rc file (~/.kde/share/config/APPNAMEnc) with Calligra closed. The suite returns to defaults without touching documents, which beats reinstalling for style glitches.
Where are Calligra autosave files?
Look beside the original for dot autosave files (.name.autosave). Calligra writes those on its autosave interval, configured in each app settings dialog.
