[installation-issues] [Issue 96594] MSOffice file association

Or we could use the old behaviour. IMHO, an user-friendly way to change associations inside the suite is critically needed for these reasons: 1.Associations may fail during installation for whatever reason (as happened to me) 2.Apps may hijack associations (as M$O does) 3.Users may change minds (as everyone do) So, regardless of having or not options during install (or first use, so installation can be silent), we must have them inside the program to correct as needed. Besides, I think the options should not be just all or none, by the reasons already exposed enough. I see the best option as having one checkbox for each file format, then buttons for None, Only OD, Only unregistered and All. So it'd be easy to achieve every situation mentioned here. Sure, with an user-friendly expanation for those options, what is not hard at all. Plus, an option to restore associations at startup. Just in case some other app hijack them. BTW: this is not limited to Windows. I have just moved to Linux (Mint Debian) and faced the same problem. Here in Brasil we use BrOffice instead, so I uninstalled OOo and installed BrOo. Open Document files are associated, but M$O files aren't. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I don't use XP, Vista or 7 - I use 2000 instead. I don't think we should rely on OS to be able to change associations. Some OSs permit that, some don't, and some may not do it correctly. So, IMHO, having this option available in OOo is the safe choice. BTW, if OOo is in charge of associations, it can also be set (option) to check it at every start, as many other apps do. So, if another office suite (guess which) steals associations, OOo gets it back when used again, at user's will. In short: making associations settings available inside OOo is safe, comfortable and useful. Best regards. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Do you really need another way in OpenOffice.org to change these settings. I don't think so. Dirk - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

(This is an issue for people, like me, who have both installed.) As was said in comment #2: If it could also have an option to repair those associations if they get poached by some other app, that would be even better. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

A pick list in Options | File Associations would be fine. We need to be able to select from each of the MSO filetypes; limiting this to an all or nothing choice would be frustrating - out here in working world we're still evaluating Oo against MSO.

All computers my organisation has procured over the last 12 months have come with 'trial versions' of Microsoft Office, which - even once uninstalled - leave default associations to Microsoft Office. OpenOffice is effectively useless on these computers without much tiresome additional work. I was about to roll out Open Office to a corporate laptop fleet, but now I am going to explore options for getting cheap Microsoft Office licences instead: My staff's time compensating for the inadequacies of OpenOffice is more valuable than the cost of Microsoft Office licences.

To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=96594 --- Additional comments from rorri...@openoffice.org Mon Nov 23 07:56:07 + 2009 --- I'm finding my use case very difficult: I have both OpenOffice.org and Microsoft Office (2003) installed on my PC (WindowsXP). I WANT to use OOo as my primary office suite, I want the double-click action to be to open with OOo whenever possible. I want to be able to install OOo and just have it work, and keep working. I used the REGISTER_ALL_MSO_TYPES command-line setup option (undocumented except in this bug and on the German Wiki, as far I can find) when I installed OOo and it was ok for a while, but MSO hijacked the file associations when downloading some update, and REGISTER_ALL_MSO_TYPES doesn't seem to be working for me now with either a Repair or Modify setup run. Some day I'll bite the bullet and uninstall OOo and then reinstall it again with REGISTER_ALL_MSO_TYPES, but that is NOT acceptable in the long term. It's pretty common for Windows apps to check whether their file associations are set and if not, ask if you want them to be. Couldn't we do that? Honestly, I get the impression that OOo doesn't want to be used as the default office suite. It's like it's saying Oh, you've got Microsoft Office. Ok, I'll just go sit quietly in the corner here. You don't really want me. Come on, be more assertive! If someone installs OOo, they want to use it! In most cases, MSO is there by default and its presence can be ignored; installing OOo is a choice that should be respected. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

A lot of them won't discover it and others will be too confused to use it, or use it incorrectly. IMHO there should be an interface to set this like in any number of other programs. They present a list of common extensions and offer options to 'associate all', 'clear all associations' and checkbox to allow you to select the ones you wish to have associated. Simple, effective and well-established in the software world as a mechanism that 'works' for most users. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The updated spec seems to address the most common cases and it's clearly better than now. But what i really cannot understand is why you are cutting out a working and a more precise functionality to a limited one. At work we have some Win2000 PCs that we are trying to switch to OpenOffice. Initially i've installed OOo side by side, leaving untouched the file associations to MSO97 and keeping free the user to test OOo. After some time i've switched the file associations to OOo to see how they feel. Some of them asked me to switch back to Excel because some feature they use works better. With the new spec i can only switch back *ALL* the file association to MSO (or change file associations manually), while now i can only proceed manually and before 3.x we can tweak every single association, restoring Excel association and leaving all the rest to OOo. To me the differences between 2.x and the updated spec are a reduction in flexibility with apparent no real advantage. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Even after updating OOo 3.0.1 to OOo 3.1 all mime types are kept as before. I don't know if we can tell wether MSO file types are assigned to an office or a viewer. I think that a simple solution can be a 'assign them all' switch at installation time.

Many of us has understood the rationale behind the spec, but what consider frustrating is that an useful interface was removed leaving the users on your own. If the choises done by setup are not what the user wants, then he is leaved alone. The spec cite an msi option but: - it is a all or nothing option (i cannot associate, for example, only the PowerPoint extensions); - it is a hidden option (i have to know about that); - it gives no feedback (will i have written it correctly?); - it is frustrating because i have to understand where and how to put that option. If you are worried about the user who associate the MSO options without knowing what they are doing, why not to put out that choice from the default setup path (for example under a Change file association... button) or, at least, render the previous useful and already working interface, visible when i do a repair or modify setup?

I'd say that current OOo 3 setup really works as defined in [1]. I had problems with MSO file type associations when MSO viewers had been installed in Windows. In that case OOo 3 setup doesn't associate the MSO file types with OOo applications, which doesn't make sense because the viewers should always be regarded as inferior to the editing applications of OOo. (The viewers may be useful if you have a MSO document that is broken when opened in OOo and you just want to view/print the document.) -- rpr. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

What you forcme to install OO in C:\Program Files\Openoshit.org 3 do you realiaze, that there are at least 4 places where file association can be set, and do you realize that if any of theese points to a different location all is wrong? HAVE YOU GUYS EVER WORKED IN A MIXED DOMAIN? try a domain with few instalaltions of OO2 and OO3 I assure you that the problems i have to solve every day with OO file associations cost the company 2 times more than buying MS office ML (which btw is the next thing which will happen as soon as we get beter hw). Please notice that there are such people who need to take care of hundreds of DIFFERENT computers. I do not expect you to help such people but at least, don't cripple theirs job. BTW, Do you realize that there are thousands of people which have NO IDEA what a file association is? Yeah guys, if you want to kill OO, go on, you're on right track: a) keep the dictionaries separate b) keep the OO fucked up c) annoy sysdamins to hell d) give sysadmins at least twice as much of work e) make it a little bit slower f) make your own menus and file dialogs different from anything seen in the OS g) ignore this bug for another year Yes i know that this post does not follow any rules and i do not bother. I took quite a lot of time to register and write this post in (probably false) hope that there might be someone who'll notice that OO is slowly being killed - don't blame MS for that, it is solely your fault - i don't care which of these is better but OO is not easy to handle, i'm not going to lose my time with it any more. Feel free to delete this post, feel free to ban me, i don't care a bit, i just looked at my reports and discovered that i already spent 65.4 hours solving various problems with OO 3 (99% - file associations and dictionaries) this year only.

To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=96594 --- Additional comments from bladeofligh...@openoffice.org Mon Mar 23 06:49:54 + 2009 --- Basically, everyone who's commented in favor of restoring this functionality is right. It's a matter of the user being able to control the program, instead of the program making assumptions about what the user wants. In my book, assuming that all users want some a program to behave in some specific way is often one of the worst things software can do. It seems to me that these are the basic requirements of what we need regarding file associations: -User must be able to control whether OpenOffice becomes the default application -It must be possible to control this with the installer for silent installations -The ability to control the file associations within the program itself, after it's installed. The last one isn't really a requirement, but it would be very useful to me and, I suspect, other users. I much prefer OpenOffice, but occassionally someone I'm submitting work to requires a Microsoft file. I love OpenOffice, but when you need to draw pictures and do other out of the ordinary things, saving a .doc file with OpenOffice just doesn't work. When that kind of situation arises, I'm forced to install MS Office to do that work and save it. When I'm done, I like to uninstall MS Office and get it off my system. Recently, this has left me with no easy way to restore the file associations that I originally chose when installing OpenOffice previously. I could uninstall/reinstall OO, but I'm worried about losing settings and templates. For this sort of situation, where a third party (a program or person) changes the file associations, it would be very useful to be able to get OpenOffice to reclaim the associations without having to deal with installers at all. The following suggestion may sound weird and not feasible since I'm not versed in how OpenOffice or MS installers work, but perhaps it might useful as a starting point. I suggest moving the actual code for claiming file associations into the application itself. From there, users can manually control the associations at any time. This would seem to violate the requirement for silent installs, but is it somehow possible to activate the program's code from inside the installer once installation is otherwise complete? If so, dialogs could be placed in the installer, and this could be saved as a setting and the associations could be made by the actual application code. In regards to how the dialog should work, I suggest a tree structure. A full blown list of file extensions would be too confusing for many users, but if the list were divided into a tree, then a user could select the top nodes (which would be things like Microsoft Office Files, Microsoft Works Files, and Open Office Files) to select all the file types under that heading. The tree could also be expanded so advanced users could control the file types individually. Select All/Select None buttons would also be useful. The dialog could be implemented this way in both the installer and the application. Additionally, within the application itself, OpenOffice should have some kind of button that makes it reclaim all its prompted file associations. It might be useful to do something like Mozilla products do: when they open, they notify you that the file associations its supposed to maintain have changed and prompts the user whether or not to restore the associations. If that kind of behavior were to be implemented, it should be possible to make it stop asking you (probably where you control the file associations themselves). Of course, when you make it stop asking, it does NOT restore those associations automatically; it does nothing about them. Even if that kind of behavior is not implemented, though, I would greatly appreciate some kind of mechanism to easily make OpenOffice restore the file associations I told it to have since other programs (such as MS Office) can steal them. A tree-like structure also opens up some possibilities for silent installs. There could be parameters for the tree headings (MS Office files, etc.), a parameter for all file types, and a parameter for no file types; the installer should also still be able to handle a list of individual file types somehow. What the default behavior should be in this sort of design, I don't know. I'm not directly exposed to that type of situation. Thanks to all of you who spend your time making OpenOffice better. Hopefully, you will find this helpful. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The spirit of 89097 is to skip the file association but activating it automatically when there is no MS Office on the machine. So if OOo detects that the user doesn't have MSO, then, OOo should automatically open the .doc, ... files. Hence, just don't ask the user about that. But if MSO is installed, then let the user chose and keep asking him at OOo install. Simply removing the option was a big mistake that hasn't answer anything (with opposite consequences!). - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

This is both essential for adoption and for the needs of a small but growing population of Open Office users - the portable apps population. I recently found that OOO had been made portable, so I can now carry both my data and my apps from one computer to another. So moving to a new computer is a matter of 1. copying over the portable apps, and 2. setting the file associations, and I'm up and fully productive in about 5 minutes. The copying is easy, but the file associations are the annoying part, and it would very very much help if I could set all of the Open Office associations right from within the program. Also helpful would be the ability to set them back to the original, but that's not an essential feature, just a nice touch for when I have been borrowing a machine for some months and am handing it back.

Worked for me with version 3.0.1. I had installed MS Word Viewer, and it hijacked handling of .doc files on me. I was running OO (Novell) 2.4.1 and needed to upgrade anyway. My first install of OO 3.0.1 didn't reclaim .doc file handling so I (IIRC) uninstalled it, then did the following procedure: - Launch the downloaded installer (OOo_3.0.1_Win32Intel_install_wJRE_en-US.exe) and it begins by asking where to unpack the files, choose your folder and proceed with the unpacking until it's done. - Now cancel the installer. - go to the folder you unpacked into and drop to the command prompt and execute this command: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- setup.exe SELECT_WORD=1 SELECT_EXCEL=1 SELECT_POWERPOINT=1 REGISTER_ALL_MSO_TYPES=1 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- (AIUI: the SELECT_WORD, etc parms work only for OO 2.4.x, and only REGISTER_ALL_MSO_TYPES works for 3.0.x, but I put 'em all in just to be sure) - Then just proceed with the install as normal.

There are only 2 states: make OOo the *default* application or not. Not register at all doesn't make sense as a choice. If there is not already an association for a given type, the checkbox should default on. If there is an association already, the checkbox should be off. But for *all* supported filetypes, OOo should associate as an *available* application so that OOo at least appears under Open With -. The normal user is installing the app to open the file types it supports. Experts can completely dissociate the app from filetypes when listing the app under Open With -. The current behavior already puts swriter under OpenWith, so all we're asking for is a checkbox to make OOo the primary app for the filetype. There definitely should be a checkbox for each filetype. I may want to keep MS 1st choice for .ppt but not OOo for .docx. The UI doesn't really need to be in the installer. Tools-Options would be just fine, but the UI needs to be somewhere or nontechnical users will be unable to fix. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

My opinion is that it makes the most sense to provide this capability from the installer. If this capability is not available in the installer, it can make managing multiple OpenOffice.org installations more difficult (unless the association management tool can change associations for multiple machines over a network). Since the installer can already associate Microsoft Office file types (as the 2.4 installer did), I think it makes the most sense to simply restore this capability to the installer (and no doubt this is also the simplest solution to implement). - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

It is exactly what this issue is about, and I wonder that still no target is defined despite the fact that there are 39 votes. However, I assume aziem proposed the solution not to resolve this issue, but rather as a workaround to solve the problem of mfurr in a short time frame. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The associations where not made even though no MS Office install existed on the laptops. There is now no easy way to repair them. The users are not happy and I don't have time to manually edit the associations on all 50 laptops. This one issue may have put the process of our organization switching away from MS Office in jeopardy. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I looked and looked for something like that on the intertubes but I guess my google = fail this time. This really seems like something that should be in the program so the average user can control it. Perhaps an extension could be thrown together in the interim that would provide a simple checklist and registry edit like the installer did? Any programmers out there? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Issue http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=89097 states the request to skip the association step, and the comments following reinforce the community's desire to restore this capability. It was not good to reduce the functionality of the previous version in this regard. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

So to repeat ... IMHO an app should NEVER change file assocs without first asking the user. This is my first look at OOo and I specifically wanted to use OOo 3.0 to open MSOffice 2007 files on a laptop which did not have Office, but did have MS Works installed. Because I did not get the option during installation to select which file types to associate, now everything is hooked into OOo. Not too impressed! - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Check out the OO Community Forum and do a search for file association - this is a very big issue with the users. If it worked the way it used to in 2.4.x where it asks if it should make the file associations during the file installation that would be great. If it could also have an option to repair those associations if they get poached by some other app, that would be even better. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
