Bug #: 45735
Summary: Automatic check at start-up whether LO is default
program for ODF-file formats
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Libreoffice
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Problem decription: Since Microsoft Office 2010 is being widely deployed in
many offices, a particular problem comes up regarding all ODF-file formats. At
installation, MS Office 2010 registers itself as default programmes for
ODF-file formats. However, they do not fully support the ODF standard. This is
a particular problem with Excel, since it can open .ods files, but cannot save
formulas. The changed and returned document is simply *useless* if the changes
have been done in MS Office. Almost always, the respective persons had
OpenOffice/LibreOffice installed on their computer, but they were opening the
file with a double click (which opened MS Office and not LO).
The ultimate result is that *the ODF file formats cannot be used anymore in
data exchange*. In my opinion, this is a severe issue.
Request / Solution: Please add an automatic check at start-up of LibreOffice,
to check whether LO is the default programme for all ODF file formats and give
the user the option re-register LO as default programme.
