Hi,
Ah yes, I forgot that double-clicking would launch the system default install
of LO rather than the parallel one.
Forget the LO File Services dialog from within LO, I can not figure it out, the
help is useless (in fact inexistant) and I have been trying all day on and off
to get this to work properly with a link to network stored templates).
I am assuming that your file manager allows you to see the shared folder as you
mentioned that you can access this with :
"I usually connect the Linux machine to the Win7 shared folders by clicking the
Files icon on the taskbar, selecting File > Connect to Server... from the
menu, and entering the required information to complete the connection and gain
remote access."
Try this :
1) Open a terminal and type in the full path to the parallel LO executable :
e.g. pathtomyparallelLOinstallation/program/soffice
Do not press enter for the moment
2) Open your file manager network folder and drag and drop a LO file from there
onto the terminal window. It should add the file name to be opened to the end
of the LO start command, and now you can press enter.
3) This should start the parallel version of LO and load the file. Note however
that if your path to the file has spaces in it, you might need to surround the
complete file path and name with double-quotes (otherwise it might fail to load
when it encounters a space in the file path), i.e. something like
pathtomyparallelLOinstallation/program/soffice "/WIN7/SHARED
FILES/worksheets/myworksheet.ods"
