Bug #: 45735 Summary: Automatic check at start-up whether LO is default program for ODF-file formats Classification: Unclassified Product: LibreOffice Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: Windows (All) Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: medium Component: Libreoffice AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: glepp...@gmx.de Problem decription: Since Microsoft Office 2010 is being widely deployed in many offices, a particular problem comes up regarding all ODF-file formats. At installation, MS Office 2010 registers itself as default programmes for ODF-file formats. However, they do not fully support the ODF standard. This is a particular problem with Excel, since it can open .ods files, but cannot save formulas. The changed and returned document is simply *useless* if the changes have been done in MS Office. Almost always, the respective persons had OpenOffice/LibreOffice installed on their computer, but they were opening the file with a double click (which opened MS Office and not LO). The ultimate result is that *the ODF file formats cannot be used anymore in data exchange*. In my opinion, this is a severe issue. Request / Solution: Please add an automatic check at start-up of LibreOffice, to check whether LO is the default programme for all ODF file formats and give the user the option re-register LO as default programme. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
