Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 102947
Opening NAS Files
Last modified: 2014-01-30 17:05:24 UTC
1) using a D-Link DNS 323 NAS 2) running Windows XP on a Dell T3400 3) *.ods and *.odt files ONLY ON THE NAS cannot be opened by Double Clicking 4) *.ods and *.odt files ON THE NAS CAN be opened via the File Menu When I "double click" on *.ods and *.odt files stored on my NAS they will not "automatically" open (in Open Office). Nothing (as near as I can tell) happens. That is, Open Office does NOT start and these files do NOT open. This ONLY applies to files on the NAS. When I copy these files to my Windows Desktop, I can open them by double clicking without any trouble. Also, if I simply run Open Office and, once running, use the File menu to Open a *.ods or *.odt file, these files also open without a problem. Open Office is the only app that is having this problem.
tmhertz, do you access NAS by name, IP or you map drive letter? If by name what is it?
I map the NAS as a Network Drive and the NAS DOES have a password that must be entered the first time the Network Drive is accessed after the system is rebooted.
