From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: I installed nahant-beta2 and I'm completely up-to-date. No /etc/mailcap entries are in place for Open Office extensions or traditional Microsoft document extensions. This means applications like Evolution only offer the "Save As" option for attachments. I believe /etc/mailcap should be populated with entries upon installation of openoffice.org and the entries should point .sxw, .xls, .ppt, .doc, etc to office. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-1.1.2-10 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install openoffice.org. 2. Receive email with .xls attachment in Evolution 3. Click on attachment. Actual Results: Only "Save As" option is offered. Expected Results: "Open in OpenOffice.org" option should also be offered. Additional info:
Actually, Evolution should be pulling its mime-types from shared-mime-data and redhat-menus packages (from the OOo .desktop files) rather than mimecap. Modifying mimecap on the fly was a hack and not very maintainable. If there aren't options for "Open in OpenOffice.org Writer" coming up when you click on the attachment button in Evolution, then we need to figure out what the mime-type of the document you're trying to open is, and add that type to the OOo .desktop file. OOo should nto be modifying mimecap any more, it should all get pulled from the new mime system at this time. Note that I did fix a couple of problems with this, and it might be the case that RHEL4-RC1 already fixes this problem, but that it was broken for Beta2. The correct package versions you need are: redhat-menus-3.7.1-2 or higher openoffice.org-1.1.2-18.6.EL4 Those packages should be present in the RC and later builds and should fix this bug. Whenever you get those builds, could you verify that this bug is/is not fixed and update this issue? Thanks! Dan
Dan, I'm running the following: redhat-menus-1.13-1 openoffice.org-1.1.2-10 I do not believe the RC is publicly available, so I guess I'm SOL for now.
Hmm, yeah :( Should be fairly soon though. I'll close as "fixed" then, feel free to reopen if it persists in RC or later.
