OO3 Writer file association

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I seem to have identified a bug - perhaps.

 

For some strange reason all OO3 apps are in my menu system except swriter. Associated with this fact there is no file association for swriter. (swriter is installed).

 

When I open System settings-> file associations -> vnd.oasis.opendocument.text there is (obviously) no entry there for swriter.

 

When I try to add it, since it is not in the menu, it cannot be added directly.

 

So I browse to the program directory for OO3 and choose swriter.

 

The system then promptly adds kwrite to the list - very annoying and perfectly useless.

 

I have tried this about 4 times and the same happens each time.

 

Any ideas? [using 2009]

Thanks for the suggestions - had already tried the menu fixer from the GUI - so tried again with the CLI instructions as given with no change.

 

Tried the script given in the link - only found ppp missing and installed it.

 

So still no file association for OO writer or item in the menu.

Does this file exist on your system: /usr/share/applications/writer.desktop ? If it exist post its contents.

OK - I logged in with an existing test account I have and there is no problem - so obviously something (minor) wrong with my account.

 

I figure it has something to do with me fiddling around making an icon on the panel to start the OO3 opening interface. I am willing to live with it if there are no simple solutions.

Rename ~/.local/share/applications in your home folder to applications-old then in terminal as user:

kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental

 

Renaming the applications folder will reset all file types associations.

 

If you want to keep the applications folder, it'll be a bit tedious, post the contents of:

.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

If ~/.local/share/applications doesn't exist then the system wide /usr/share/applications will be used. ~/.local/share/applications will be recreated the first time you change a file association or create a custom menu entry.

 

Don't get deterred changing file associations, it'll probably work OK next time, you just hit a snag. KDE4.1.x is a bit messy managing file associations, it'd would probably have been not so hard to edit the files manually to resolve the ooo writer problem but it's easier just deleting/renaming the whole folder : )
