Sometimes AOO 4.1.7 looses the WPS association for a file and double clicking on the file icon brings up the WPS dialog instead of opening OpenOffice for the file. Attached is a screen capture.

This has been happening on ArcaOS 5.0.4 and older versions.

In addition to tracking down why this is happening, it wold be helpful if OpenOffice had a repair EA facility to restore the proper association.

Now, 4.1.8 is available.
Could you try this last build if this issue is still reproduce?

I think this is stated in the readme, located at the same place you got the wpi from...

OK, I see that I will need to uninstall 4.1.7 first.

Do I need to open a new ticket to suggest that the web page and readme note that ArcaOS 5.0.6 dooes not include the required level of libicu?

The problem still occurs with 4.1.8.

Comment 9 Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz 2021-01-03 16:54:15 UTC
How do I reset the user profile?

I haven't seen this in 4.1.11, the most recent OS/2 version.
