From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: I'm not sure about GNOME, but in KDE 3.3, none of the OOo file types are associated with any program. On a fresh install of FC3, when I double-click on a *.sxw file (for example), I get the standard KDE "open with..." dialog. However, strangely, there's no "remember application association" checkbox, so I was forced to either select OpenOffice from the dialog every time, or I had to manually associate the file types in the KDE control center. Initially, when I browsed a file manager window, all OOo documents were listed as "Unknown" type. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kde-3.3.1-1 and openoffice.org-1.1.2-11.5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC3 2. Launch (attempt) OpenOffice.org by double-clicking an existing document 3. Select the program from the subsequent dialog (notice the lack of "remember application association" checkbox) 4. Choose appropriate OOo component Actual Results: The files open fine after either choosing the proper application or setting the file association. Expected Results: The file association should have been set without manual user intervention. Additional info: This was a fresh install of FC3.
Hi Chris, I copied the following files (from another Linux install) to /usr/share/mimelnk/application. vnd.sun.xml.calc.desktop vnd.sun.xml.calc.template.desktop vnd.sun.xml.draw.desktop vnd.sun.xml.draw.template.desktop vnd.sun.xml.impress.desktop vnd.sun.xml.impress.template.desktop vnd.sun.xml.writer.desktop vnd.sun.xml.writer.global.desktop vnd.sun.xml.writer.math.desktop vnd.sun.xml.writer.template.desktop That has fixed the openoffice associations.
