------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri Nov 19 17:57:10 +0000 2010 ------- Summing up ideas in order to suggest a target behaviour, replacing the proposed one (which seems to me hard for average users). Or we could use the old behaviour. IMHO, an user-friendly way to change associations inside the suite is critically needed for these reasons: 1.Associations may fail during installation for whatever reason (as happened to me) 2.Apps may hijack associations (as M$O does) 3.Users may change minds (as everyone do) So, regardless of having or not options during install (or first use, so installation can be silent), we must have them inside the program to correct as needed. Besides, I think the options should not be just "all" or "none", by the reasons already exposed enough. I see the best option as having one checkbox for each file format, then buttons for "None", "Only OD", "Only unregistered" and "All". So it'd be easy to achieve every situation mentioned here. Sure, with an user-friendly expanation for those options, what is not hard at all. Plus, an option to restore associations at startup. Just in case some other app hijack them. BTW: this is not limited to Windows. I have just moved to Linux (Mint Debian) and faced the same problem. Here in Brasil we use BrOffice instead, so I uninstalled OOo and installed BrOo. Open Document files are associated, but M$O files aren't. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
