While I absolutely agree that the executable names should be changed, file associations needs a bit more than that, I was very glad to see that LibO brought back the ability to choose file associations for Word, Excel and Powerpoint file types at install time, but more is needed - the associations for the newer XML formats need to be treated separately, so, instead of just 3 associations, there would be 6. With that one difference in mind, I'd *love* to see LibO implement something along the lines of my long-standing request (77257) for a proper 'File Extension Manager' (which was created long before the new XML formats): http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=77257 -- Best regards, Charles -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
