I have a small problem with Nautilus (nautilus-2.16.3) when double clicking on a Microsoft Word Document (*.doc) does /not/ open with Open Office (openoffice-bin-2.2.1). The problem is only with *.doc files, *.xls and *.ppt work just fine. A quick google search does not turn up anything, but I choose to read the Gnome Desktop System Admin Guide (http://www.gnome.org/learn/admin-guide/2.14/). I try the tool 'gnomevfs-info' and have
** SNIP ** mchaffin% gnomevfs-info ./Michael\ Chaffin\ goals\ \(2004\).doc Name : Michael Chaffin goals (2004).doc Type : Regular MIME type : application/msword Default app : xoowriter.desktop Size : 22528 Blocks : 48 I/O block size : 4096 Local : YES SUID : NO SGID : NO Sticky : NO Permissions : 600664 Link count : 1 UID : 1000 GID : 100 Access time : Mon Jan 2 19:34:31 2006 Modification time : Mon Nov 24 20:30:54 2003 Change time : Mon Jun 21 20:32:14 2004 Device # : 773 Inode # : 8421419 Readable : YES Writable : YES Executable : NO ** SNIP ** The 'Default App' is 'xoowritter.desktop', I un-installed that a long time ago. Ok so I re-read 'Registering Application for MIME Types' (http://www.gnome.org/learn/admin-guide/latest/mimetypes-registering.html) and I try the tool 'desktop-file-install' with the copy of 'openoffice.org-2.2-writer.desktop' ** SNIP ** mchaffin% desktop-file-install \ ? /usr/lib/openoffice/share/xdg/openoffice.org-2.2-writer.desktop Must specify the vendor namespace for these files with --vendor ** SNIP ** What is my 'vendor'? I am not even sure 'desktop-file-install' is the correct tool. Suggestions please. Thank you. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
