------- Additional comments from c...@openoffice.org Mon Feb 1 02:54:59 +0000 2010 ------- It would be nice to have a dialog/menu to alter or take over File Associations after installation. It would be greatly helpful to have a way for OpenOffice to "grab" file extensions, including those that were not associated during installation. The "Repair" function of the installer seems too drastic a measure for a mostly isolated, Windows component issue – and it may be expected that “Repair” will only restore associations that were created during the original installation. A well-done file association manager after installation may also ease the debate over what associations and defaults should be used during the installation. [During a tech support incident, I had to uninstall a defective MS Office 2007 copy that had locked into read-only abilities, and its uninstallation removed .doc, .docx, .rtf, and other extensions types from the registry. I could not locate a file association manager in settings of Writer or OpenOffice. Attempting to create individual extension entries for each type to soffice/swriter was unsuccessful and a re-installation of OpenOffice was used. (In the version the subject had downloaded, there was no File Association dialog/prompt during setup, either; but with MS Office gone, the associations were made successfully.)] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
