Description Robin Green 2005-03-21 23:49:12 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050308 Firefox/1.0.1 Fedora/1.0.1-5

Description of problem:
When I visited the URL above, firefox asked me if I wanted to save or open with [Browse button]. No option to open with OO.o Impress was given.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openoffice.org-impress-1.9.84-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to URL above in firefox


Actual Results:  Open/save dialog appears, with no option to open with OO.o Impress.

Expected Results:  Dialog should offer "Open with OO.o Impress".

Additional info:

firefox-1.0.1-5
mailcap-2.1.19-1

Sorry, that should say "URL below". I am used to the Mozilla bugzilla layout.

caolanm->caillon: A "-" option in the Exec line of .desktop files break moz and
firefox. e.g. avoiding OOo, to reproduce

http://www.silvanoimaging.com/images/HowTo/colortarget2.tif

should open for us by default with gthumb because it's registered as a handler
for image/tiff in it's .desktop

Now change the Exec line for gthumb in its .desktop to Exec=gthumb --name=foobar
update-desktop-database and revisit the url and gthumb is no longer recognized
by moz/firefox as the tiff handler. nautilus has no such trouble launching
gthumb with the apropiate name xprop

The openoffice .desktop files e.g. impress.desktop contain a -impress, removing
it gives the right "open with" in moz/firefox. Though we want to retain that option.

I don't know if its related, but it kidof funny:
If i click a link to a svg in firefox, i get the "open with, or save" dialog.
Stadard program is firefox. Just for the sake of it, i hit "open", just to get
another open with/save and so it goes...

Comment 5 Warren Togami 2005-05-01 21:27:48 UTC

This causes .xls and .sxc to not have a file association, maybe others too...

Comment 6 Christopher Aillon 2005-05-03 20:15:35 UTC

Checked in
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/*checkout*/devel/firefox/firefox-1.0-uriloader.patch
to rawhide.  Will push out builds soon with the fix.  (1.0.3-3)
