Binary package hint: openoffice.org
When accessing a folder over SFTP (or SSH, should be the same) using
nautilus, double click on an ODT file opens it in the archive manager.
The RMB menu for an ODT file on an SFTP folder only offers "archive
manager" or "archive mounter", while when opening the properties dialog
for such a file, in the "Open With" tab, OpenOffice.org Writer is
clearly listed and selected as the default option.
Even starting Writer directly from the menu and using the "Open file"
command to browse to the SFTP folder (which is listed as an active mount
point) doesn't work - after selecting the file and clicking Open,
nothing happens: Writer just sits there doing nothing.
the only workaround is to copy the file to a local folder, edit it, save
it and copy it back.
