------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Feb 7 17:17:30 +0000 2007 ------- File | Open defaults to File Types "All files (*.*)". This allows a novice user to click on a document type that OOo does not support, such as PDF, and get a confusing error message. The suggested fix is to have File Open default to "All documents", which means any document type that OOo recognizes, rather than *.*. Alternatively, or additionally, when the user attempts to open an unsupported document type, OOo could ask if the user wants to open it in the default application, so for example, .pdf files would then be opened using Acrobat Reader. FYI, there are several related enhancement suggestions: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=10048 http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=19918 http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=67163 http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=70421 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
