Description Gerald Teschl 2002-09-29 10:30:41 UTC
Why did you remove the microsoft office mimetypes from the
openoffice entries!?

$ grep MimeType
/usr/lib/openoffice/share/kde/net/applnk/OpenOffice.org/textdoc.desktop
MimeType=application/vnd.sun.xml.writer;application/vnd.stardivision.writer;application/msword;application/vnd.ms-word;application/x-doc;text/rtf
$ grep MimeType /usr/share/applications/redhat-word-processor.desktop
MimeType=application/vnd.stardivision.writer;application/vnd.sun.xml.writer;application/vnd.sun.xml.writer.template

This implies that clicking on a (e.g.) doc file will not open it using oowriter.

Comment 1 Gerald Teschl 2002-12-11 11:03:28 UTC
Still broken in openoffice-1.0.1-8

Comment 2 Gerald Teschl 2003-01-24 10:17:38 UTC
Just noted that clicking on office docs works in gnome and is only
broken in kde. Please fix the desktop file. Thanks.

Comment 3 Gerald Teschl 2003-04-07 20:24:31 UTC
redhat-word-processor.desktop is fixed, but not:

$ grep MimeType /usr/share/applications/redhat-spreadsheet.desktop
MimeType=application/vnd.stardivision.calc;application/vnd.sun.xml.calc;application/vnd.sun.xml.calc.template
$grep MimeType
/usr/lib/openoffice/share/kde/net/applnk/OpenOffice.org/spreadsheet.desktop
MimeType=application/vnd.sun.xml.calc;application/vnd.stardivision.calc;application/vnd.stardivision.chart;application/msexcel;application/vnd.ms-excel

and
$ grep MimeType /usr/share/applications/redhat-presentations.desktop
MimeType=application/vnd.stardivision.impress;application/vnd.sun.xml.impress;application/vnd.sun.xml.impress.template
$ grep MimeType
/usr/lib/openoffice/share/kde/net/applnk/OpenOffice.org/presentation.desktop
MimeType=application/vnd.sun.xml.impress;application/vnd.stardivision.impress;application/mspowerpoint

caolanm->snickell:
These get pulled into the openoffice.org rpm from
/usr/share/desktop-menu-patches/redhat-spreadsheet.desktop and
/usr/share/desktop-menu-patches/redhat-presentations.desktop which are
from redhat-menus

Comment 5 Bryan W Clark 2004-11-09 23:03:10 UTC
should be in the latest release, can anyone confirm?

Comment 6 Caolan McNamara 2004-11-10 07:51:00 UTC
built as an update-candidate, but not pushed as an update to FC-3 yet.

Comment 7 Bryan W Clark 2005-03-28 18:02:07 UTC
Caolan: did this get merged?

Comment 8 Caolan McNamara 2005-03-29 09:22:07 UTC
For rawhide it's all ok in the appropiate .desktop files now in use.
