--- Comment #4 from Caolán McNamara <caol...@redhat.com> ---
Yeah IMO this is a plausible easy hack.
So here's a sample commit for adding the info that LibO can handle a mime-type
so that Linux systems suggest it as a handler for the format
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=a7082e3cd9171105d12c65d8364d29680b8d1801
I'm not actually entirely sure what the equivalent for Windows or MacOSX is,
but more than likely examining git log sysui will (eventually) show the
equivalent mechanism for those platforms. I suggest putting that aside for the
moment and just make this the Linux filetype association bug.
Now that I look I do see that "application/vnd.ms-works" which might be the
correct mime-type for the format in our *writer* .desktop file so it might be
that the problem is either on the shared-mime-info side which sniffs the
filetype or that the mime-type is too broad and messy and it falls through the
cracks somewhere (e.g. that all msworks file types share the same mime-type and
they get given to writer first and there's no fallback to try calc if that
doesn't work)
So to narrow down the specific problem, can you
a) attach a sample file here
b) right click on it in nautilus and see what mime-type it detects it as ?
