Bug ID: 96725
Summary: CONFIGURATION: "Open With > LibreOffice" missing for
AppleWorks (.cwk) files on Mac
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.3.7.2 release
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
OS: Mac OS X (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Installation
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: markuskel...@fastmail.fm
The "Open With > ..." context menu in the Mac OS X Finder is missing
"LibreOffice" for legacy AppleWorks documents. The converter works very well
when I drop a file on the LibreOffice.app. But sometimes, the context menu is
just more convenient.
I'm on an old Mac and can't use the latest LibreOffice to verify if this is
still an issue, but
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/sysui/desktop/macosx/Info.plist.in
looks like AppleWorks is still missing.
I've fixed the issue in my install by adding this to my
LibreOffice.app/Contents/Info.plist:
<dict>
<key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key>
<array>
<string>cwk</string>
<string>*</string>
</array>
<key>CFBundleTypeName</key>
<string>AppleWorks Document</string>
<key>CFBundleTypeOSTypes</key>
<array>
<string>CWWP</string>
<string>CWSS</string>
<string>CWDB</string>
<string>CWGR</string>
<string>CWPT</string>
<string>CWPR</string>
</array>
<key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
<string>Editor</string>
</dict>
(After that, you need to rename/move the LibreOffice.app around to get the
Finder to replace its caches, or maybe also restart the Finder.)
Apple Works documents of the latest versions often have a .cwk extension, but
older documents can only be identified by their legacy Creator/Type
information.
I don't know whether LibreOffice really supports all 6 file types. CWWP, CWSS,
and CWGR are definitely supported. I took the whole set from here:

If you know more about the Info.plist format, you may also want to add this
one:
> Common Mac OS X UTI: com.apple.appleworks.document
