odf plugin advertises support for odt files
Last modified: 2010-11-17 21:36:14 UTC
Originally reported as Red Hat bug 654099: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=654099 Basically, .odt files opened by openoffice show up in gnumeric recent files list, even though the gnumeric is unable to open them.
plugins/openoffice/plugins.xml.in advertises support for odt files. I wonder why we do that.
Hmm: <information> <_description>Open Document Format (*.sxc, *.ods)</_description> </information> <suffixes> <suffix>ods</suffix> <suffix>odt</suffix> <suffix>sxc</suffix> <suffix>stc</suffix> </suffixes> <mime-types> <mime-type>vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet</mime-type> <mime-type>vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet-template</mime-type> <mime-type>application/vnd.sun.xml.calc</mime-type> <mime-type>application/vnd.sun.xml.calc.template</mime-type> </mime-types> It seems to me that there is a typo: instead of <suffix>odt</suffix> it should be <suffix>ots</suffix>, which is the extension for an vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet-template.
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
