Bug ID: 146949
Summary: windows .lnk files not followed to open
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: blic...@comcast.net
Description:
If any Libreoffice component is passed a Windows .lnk file as an argument, it
tries to open it as a text or csv file, rather than following the link to the
file pointed to.
For example, "scalc.exe foo.xls.lnk" tries to open foo.xls.lnk as a text or
csv file, rather than following the link to the desired file foo.xls.
Microsoft office products exhibit the desired behavior.
Last version tested: 7.2.3
Note that this behavior breaks dragging and dropping a .lnk file onto a
LibreOffice executable, because obviously the Windows shell just give the LO
executable the .lnk file as the file arg.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.scalc.exe foo.xls.lnk"
2.
3.
Actual Results:
opens .lnk file itself
Expected Results:
open file to which .lnk points.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
