Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 51570
Mimetype association should be extended
Last modified: 2006-11-29 08:29:20 UTC
Now we are looking for an existing registry entry for .xls or .ppt. No matter if it is registered to an application or not. For the user at his frontend 'Folder Options' doesn't know what's going on, he can only see that there is no application registered for this mimetype. Installation should detect whether there is a) an entry for this mimetype and b) is there an application registered for this mimetype and c) does this application exist.

I think this issue is only good for a 'plan B'. The prefered solution should be to assign mimetypes somewhere in Tools Options.
Hi, would be nice if a user could change the associations in tools -> options not only for *.doc, *.xls, *.pps but also for older formats like *.sdw, *.sxw ... so he can decide which program to use for ... Oliver
