Well, I hesitated in opening this as a defect - upon further thought I changed
from defect to enhancement, the summary and the priority - continue for the long
explanation.
Yes, in the scenarios I know of, and those that I assume I understand, it really
is a case of user error.
One scenario I have seen first hand:
They had MSO and downloaded OO.o to try it.
During the trial they did not change default application settings in the window
manager.
Eventually they decided to stick with OO.o and so went to make the association,
by hand - because OO.o was already installed - and for whatever reason,
accident, ignorance or laziness they select soffice(.exe) vs the appropriate
application.
Till now it was of no real consequence. IMO however, if the file type icons are
to now play a particular branding role beyond the applications brand then this
is a bit more worthy of some thought and perhaps effort.
In other words seems like it would be worth the effort, *if* the time and effort
is small.
Given that some code changes must be happening to support setting odf vs non-odf
icons from the module executables - then this might be the right moment to
address this.
In other words, even if the user does select soffice have the code handle it and
give the correct icon, per file type, to the OS windowing manager.
All that said - this is IMO a 'like' not a 'need' feature so
1: may not be appropriate for 3.2
2: isn't worth a great deal of engineering time
