Description of problem: Default operation of Konqueror for opening OpenOffice files is to view them with the Archiving Tool instead of with OpenOffice. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.2.2-6.FC2 openoffice.org-1.1.2-10.fc2 file-4.07-4 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create and save a text document with OpenOffice (.sxw file) 2. View directory containing the document using Konqueror 3. Click on the document Actual results: Document is opened with the KDE Archive Viewer. (Interesting but hardly useful.) Expected results: Document is opened with OpenOffice. Additional info: The 'file' command identifies OpenOffice documents as zip files which they apparently are at a high level. But somehow GNOME gets around this little detail and does the right thing.
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
Konqueror in FC3 doesn't handle OpenOffice files correctly either, but the symptoms are different. It doesn't mistake the files for Zip archives as with FC2. In fact it doesn't associated the files with anything. Worse, you can't permanently establish an association. If you right click on a file to do an "Open With..." you can select an OpenOffice app such as OpenOffice Calc, but for some reason the checkbox to permanently associate the file type with an app is missing. So you have to respecify OpenOffice every time you want to open the file. My current set of related FC3 packages is: kdebase-3.3.1-4.3.FC3 openoffice.org-1.1.3-11.5.0.fc3 openoffice.org-kde-1.1.3-11.5.0.fc3
Works in FC5 (opens with appropriate openoffice app). Probably was a mimetype problem only.
