--- Comment #6 from Charles <[email protected]> --- Hi Joel, Thanks very much for picking up on this. It appears one thing has changed since I opened this Feature Request, is that using the right-click>open with method does now apparently properly fix associations with the normal version of a document type (ie, .odt or .doc) also fixes the remplate version (ie, .ott or .dot) so they work as templates are expected to work. Also, I'd like to expand a little on the concept... First is the creation of the 'restore point' for the associations. This means that the installer (and the FAM itself) should always 'record' the current settings of the associations before changing them. I'd even suggest expanding this to having two different restore points: 'original' (this is the state they were in prior to the very first time Libreoffice changes them, whether this is at install time, or done manually via the FAM sometime thereafter), and then a 'previous' state, that would only be available after subsequent changes are made after the 'original' state was created. Second, is the ability to check and/or repair permissions on the registry entries that control the file associations the FAM will be managing. This is actually one of the things that I ran into myself during one of the first times I ran into a problem with the file associations. The permissions had somehow gotten messed up. I was able to fix/reset them manually when logged on with an admin account, so if I can do it manually, then Libreoffice should be able to do it automatically (again, as long as the user is logged on with a user account that has local admin privileges). Thanks again Joel... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
