[libreoffice-users] Re: Making Libre Office my default for Word & Excel documents
HI, Rob, Alwyn's method does work, I've used it before. But I am correct about Apple removing things. But wrong about when. LOL I just checked my Mojave boot disk, that is a fresh, ground up install. It does *not* have a default apps control panel. But the Mojave install that I use on a daily basis does have a Default Apps control panel, where I can set all those defaults at one time. I don't have to find a file of a particular type, then select the default app. Then find another file type, and set that. And on and on. What a waste of my time, as I've got better things to be doing. And what do you do if you want to associate a filetype to Program A, and you don't have a file of that type on your computer? What I keep forgetting... The Mojave installation I use on a daily basis is not the same as an out of the box install. It's a continuation of in place upgrades starting with 10.6 Snow Leopard. As a result, I still have my Dashboard, and a Default Apps control panel. I don't remember ever installing a third party app, such as Tuxera, that added the Default Apps control panel. There are other differences. When using Stacks, the image on the stacks folder is, or at least was as I haven't check in a while, different than the out of the box installation. And in Safari, in my list of possible search engines, I have Yandex. Yandex was in iOS 7, but I don't know about earlier versions of Safari, as I am a Firefox user. There's a couple other things that I've discovered that are different, all of which makes it less likely I'll upgrade. If I've got features I use that disappear in a newer version of the OS, why would I want to upgrade?
