------- Additional comments from [email protected] Sun Feb 15 01:09:10 +0000 2009 ------- I disagree w/ the statement about 3 choices. 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.
