I don't think there is a need to abbreviate "LibreOffice" as "loffice" in the
registry key names. We shouldn't use too many names for our baby.
Otherwise, I'd say please do commit (to master).

That's the right approach in my book. And, if you, or somebody else
is volunteering to do that - it would be really great to have those
name instances consolidated to some $PRODUCTNAME placeholder or
somesuch ..

Every time I update LibO or OOo (and like me most users who are experimenting
with LibO but want to keep up with the currently more stable OOo) the file
associations get messed up for the reasons explained by Jesús.
Have the devs reached any decision on this?

Michael, please don't regard this as a personal complaint.
I think many users who are currently using OOo will have this problem when
they try LO (and update any of them).
I think it's a bad idea to cause grievance to users who are giving it a go.
IMO it will make them stick to OOo...

Jesús, thank you for the new build. Unfortunately it doesn't fix the problem.
Even if it did, the next time a user installs an OOo update wouldn't the
problem appear again? If you add your fix to LO only, OOo updates won't
unfix it?
I can't see any other permanent solution than renaming the exes.

I'm testing several scenarios. I will report back ;)
The scenario that didn't work was:
OpenOffice RC8 > LibreOffice RC2 > OpenOffice 3.3.0rc9 > Your LibO
I couldn't "Open with" OpenOffice Writer because it was associated with LibO

I'm afraid it's not fixed yet. I think the problem is that e.g. ODS is
associated with OOo's scalc as the default application and to LibO's scalc
as an alternate program. These are not stored in the registry Key.
For xls which is associated with MS Excel (on my system), both OOo and LibO
are alt

Hi Jesús
After some extensive testing I found out that if I accept the defaults
(Install for All users instead of Only for me
which is what I always do) I can get the "Open with" option for ODFs as well
as MS Office files.
So the problem here is also where in the registry the keys are saved (HK

You mentioned incremental updates. how is this done. does LO have an
update menu item that will check an update repository and apply the
updates, or is a whole reinstall necessary?
