Bug ID: 158387
Summary: Cannot open LO-associated filetypes such as odt, ods,
odp, etc. by double-clicking on them
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.0.0 alpha1+ Master
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: raindrops.from...@gmail.com
Description:
LibeOfficeDev (alpha) fails to register itself with its own associated
filetypes such as odt, ods, odp, etc. As a result, if I double-click on any
associated file type such as odt, odp, ods, etc, they fail to open.
I tried to identify the program in the "open with..." dialog, LO cannot open
the file. The dialog keeps popping up again and again.
I can open a file only from LO GUI with a File > Open menu or CTRL+O shortcut.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Locate any LO_associated file in file manager (odt, odp, ods, etc.)
2. Double-click on it.
Windows pops up a "Select an app to open this file" dialog.
The corresponding LO program is already shown (Writer, Calc, Impress, etc.)
But this dialog has only the "Just once" button (the "always" button is
missing.)
3. Click on the "Just once" button.
4. The dialog disappears, but reappears immediately.
In other words, Windows has not found the selected program.
(It is still looking for it.)
Steps 3 and 4 repeat indefinitely.
Actual Results:
As described above
Expected Results:
Windows should open the file without the "open with..." dialog.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Win 11 Home
Notes:
1. I do not have any other version of LO installed on this laptop. I
uninstalled the stable version and restarted the laptop before installing the
alpha.
2. I cannot use LO in safe mode, because I am launching LO from outside by
double-clicking on an associated file type. So even if I have LO launched
separately in safe mode, Windows will still launch a new instance of LO in
Normal mode!
