.odt file properties shows: Mime-type: application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text
I tried to associate this file type with libreoffice-writer. But as I said before after closing the dialogue it resets itself to text editor “leafpad”. I opened the default list as you said. I changed manually leafpad.desktop to writer.desktop. I saved the file, reopened the file manger, double clicked the .odt file and again it opened in leafpad. I reopened the default list document and my changes gone, the system reset itself to leafpad text editor again. This is defaults list: [Default Applications] application/vnd.fuzzysheet=writer.desktop image/png=ristretto.desktop application/x-theme=leafpad.desktop image/gif=ristretto.desktop application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.template=writer.desktop image/tiff=ristretto.desktop application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text=leafpad.desktop text/plain=leafpad.desktop x-scheme-handler/file=writer.desktop application/x-xcf=gimp.desktop application/pdf=evince.desktop image/jpeg=ristretto.desktop image/x-xcf=gimp.desktop ----- Original Message ----- From: Carsten Haitzler <[email protected]> To: Enlightenment users discussion & support <[email protected]> Cc: mk <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 30, 2012 6:51:13 PM Subject: Re: [e-users] Question regarding e17 file manager On Fri, 30 Nov 2012 14:59:42 -0800 (PST) mk <[email protected]> said: > > Thanks a lot. > > This doesn't work with libreoffice odt.

It must be a > bug. weird. efm uses the FDO config for this and will even modify it too: ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list that file lists mimetypes and the associated tool - can you check what this says and see that after you changed it in the gui OR used open with... etc. that it was changed to have the mimetype of the given file list the app next to it? > ________________________________ > From: thomasg <[email protected]> > To: Enlightenment users discussion & support > <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 30, 2012 > 11:36:20 AM Subject: Re: [e-users] Question regarding e17 file manager > > On Fri, Nov 30, 2012 at 5:17 PM, mk <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > I'm > > using e17 alpha 6 and I love it.
