OpenOffice.org using %U vs %F to open files

2008-07-23 Thread Chris Cheney
I talked with Sebastien, and Martin last Friday about OpenOffice.org
having problems opening files over various different systems that gvfs
supports. OpenOffice.org currently uses %U to try to open files and
often manages to screw up while doing so. The discussion involved
potentially switching the %U to %F in the desktop files to have
gvfs-fuse-daemon do the heavy lifting. I think someone also mentioned
possibly changing something in nautilus, maybe to do this automatically,
but I wasn't clear on what was being talked about with respect to
nautilus.

So does anyone consider changing the %U to a %F a good idea or should
something else be done?

Thanks!

I did find one negative aspect in that gvfsd-burn is a virtual location
and is not setup to be accessed via a fuse mount so you would not be
able to open files from inside a CD/DVD Creator location. On the plus
side this doesn't actually currently work anyway and by using %F it
would not even associate OOo with files under that location.
