What is the use of a such comment? That's a wrong statement. What do you expect to win from it? Conflict with people who might help you to fix your issue? I am really sorry. I was hoping options in the open with dialog. Then I searched for a configuration file. To that point my search was unsuccesful and I felt the need to stress that the bug was rather serious for the users. (My aim was not to fix /my/ issue but maybe a /general/ issue.) I did not mean to attack anybody but I must admit that my style was quite inappropriate. I felt still more sorry for having written this when somebody pointed out to me, afterwards, that it was very easy to change file associations through file properties. (I didn't look there at first, thinking: file properties is about /one/ file at a time, like permissions, my problem is about a /type/ of file.)

The issue is noticable on your box because you probably have a ooo2-writer.desktop somewhere. Does locate ooo2-writer.desktop lists something? I did updatedb just now and found (sudo root) no ooo2-writer.desktop in my box. My only ooo2*.desktop systemwide is .local/share/applications/ooo2-calc-usercustom.desktop. I do not remember having deleted the ooo2*.desktop while trying to solve the problem but I cannot be 100 % sure. Next time I'll write down immediately what I do :-) -- Double-clicking a word processing document in Nautilus gives no result https://launchpad.net/bugs/49417 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Dennis Kaarsemaker a écrit ce qui suit, le 12/06/06 10:18 : OpenOffice.org2 does not exist in dapper. It's called OpenOffice.org. That's the point: ooo2 doesn't exist in Dapper but it appears above others in the Applications menu and it is the default application for ooo documents in Nautilus. After some research with Google, I found that the buggy /etc/gnome/defaults.list alias /usr/share/applications/defaults.list is the cause of the Nautilus bug. I could not find yet the buggy configuration file responsible for the menu bug but I corrected it through alacarte (after correcting first the smeg bug in the menus!). These bugs reveal a feature problem (in Gnome? Ubuntu?): these questions are poorly documented for the average user and there is no open with editor or dialog at hand. If the configuration files received with the distribution are buggy (as is the case with Dapper), there is little an average user can do (except light a candle :-). -- Amitiés, Dominique, +32 (473) 61 31 75, http://www.meeus-d.be/, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Double-clicking a word processing document in Nautilus gives no result https://launchpad.net/bugs/49417 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 49417] Double-clicking a word processing document in Nautilus gives no result
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus New Ubuntu Dapper installation, French. In Nautilus, OpenOffice.org2 writer is the default for Microsoft Word and OpenOffice documents. Double-clicking such a document in Nautilus gives no result (because ooffice2 does not exist in /usr/bin?). How to change association of a file type with a default (or other) application seems to be a well preserved secret so that most users cannot correct this themselves. (In Gnome also, menu Applications/Bureautique/OpenOffice.org2 writer is proposed as first but does not function.
