Bug ID: 162564
Summary: Add executable shorthand definitions on Windows
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]

Microsoft Windows supports an app shortcut (sub)registry, named "app paths",
under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
in the registry. You add a subkey named "foo.exe", and the default value is the
path of the exe file (doesn't have to have the same base name). You can set the
working directory for the application and a few other settings.
I believe that, when installing LibreOffice, we should also install such app
paths for our modules. Perhaps: lowriter.exe, localc.exe, loimpress.exe etc; or
even writer.exe, calc.exe, impress.exe etc. (but the last one would conflict
with MS' calculator app).
