--- Comment #10 from Charles <[email protected]> ---
Hi Mike...
Virtually copy/pasting my comment in the other bug here...
I have to disagree that resolving bug 104793 should automatically resolve this
one, because - well, because resolving it does *not* resolve this one.
However, bug 104793 begs a question...
Is there a way to make these changes programatically in Windows 10, without
being dumped to the Default Programs screen?
I think the answer is yes, because I don't recall being dropped to that screen
when I first installed LibO on my laptop after clean installing windows 10.
But I ask this because this is what happens when I install Firefox for someone.
With Windows 7, you just clicked 'OK' on the first run to set it as default.
Done. In Windows 10, after you click OK to set it as default, you're then
brought to the Windows Default Programs settings page where you have to
manually select Firefox and change it.
Now I'm off to open a bug for Firefox to set itself as the default without
getting dropped to that screen - but I have a feeling that because Microsoft
really wants users to use Edge, they may not let another web browser take over
as the default without the extra hassle.
So, if there is a way to accomplish these changes without having to jump
through those hoops, and it is possible to properly manage these fully from
within LibO - which apparently is the case - I still think this bug would be a
valuable addition, simply because it puts all of the relevant file associations
in one place and let's you see at a glance which one is set for LibO and which
for MSO.
What I would do for this bug though is to add a single option to 'Allow Windows
to control these for me', which could be made default if the devs so desired.
Thanks for listening.
