------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri Jan 9 22:31:40 +0000 2009 ------- I found this reference: http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=releases&msgNo=12418 ...which explains the rationale behind removing the association dialog. However, I disagree with the rationale that the dialog should be "removed from setup due to users tend to check those options in setup and wonder why MSO registration is set to OOo." If users did this without reading the dialog, I would consider it user error that can be repaired by using the "Repair" option with MSO or the MSO viewer tools. It is a hindrance to remove useful functionality without providing an alternative. In addition, the OOo 3.0 help file still refers to the dialog box under the topic "Installation/Changing the Association of Microsoft Office Document Types". I vote again to restore the OOo 2.x functionality to allow the installer to create the file associations. The default state of the check boxes is a different question. Presumably if a file type does not have a registered application, the default state could be selected; otherwise, it could be deselected.
