Once there was a time, when you could create your own Content Type in SM
and associate it with a program of your choosing. I used that for
creating a x-hafi type. IIRC *g*

But that feature is long gone. Together with some other possibilities.

As I recall, you can add a new helper application by selecting a link in
a Web page to a .doc or .xls file.  SeaMonkey will then popup a dialogue
requesting whether to save or open the file.  You then select to open
the file.  That results in another dialogue that allows you to navigate
to the desired application's executable.

I already have libreoffice installed, but I probably skipped the
'register libreoffice file types' or some such when I installed it..
^shrug^ no big deal.  If it bothers me enough I can probably figure
out the correct file type or reinstall libreoffice and not skip the
register file types step

I have searched for a .xls on my machine using 'locate' and found one in
the source of SM-2.53. Trying to open that resulted in

http://www.triffids.de/pub/screenshot/xls191223.png

So, install LibreOffice or something equivalent. Perhaps some calc
program will suffice.

Yes, there used to be a UI to add helper apps but it disappeared in SM 2.0 :(

> How can I add those file types?

You have to download that file type.  So. from a cmd prompt, do something like

C:\Temp\t>echo "Load XLS
file" > load-xls.htm

copy or create file.xls in the same directory, open load-xls.htm with
SM and click on the link

I get a pop-up with the options to 'Open with' and 'Save File', but
the 'Do this automatically..' is greyed out :(

** is this mailing list/ newsgroup archived somewhere?
I can find my june 2010 "how to automatically save files?" q to the
list in my sent mail but can't find it with a search engine :(

summary: My 2010 fix, on a windows vista machine, for not being able
to select 'do this automatically...' for .pptx files was adding this
bit to the registry

 cut here ==
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pptx]
"Content 
Type"="application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content
Type\application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation]
"Extension"=".pptx"

 cut here ==

It's probably the same now.. you just have to figure out the proper
"Content Type" for xls and doc files..
