Description congruwer 2010-02-20 20:31:34 UTC 
After I installed Gnumeric, it associated itself with .odt (Open Document _Text_) files. Gnumeric can't open these files, they have to be opened with Writer to use them. Flagging major because most people won't know how to fix this and won't be able to open their .odt files.

Here's the offending registry key:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.odt]
"Content Type"="vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet-template"
@="GNOME.Gnumeric"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.odt\opendocument.WriterDocument.1]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.odt\opendocument.WriterDocument.1\ShellNew]
"FileName"="soffice.odt"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.odt\OpenWithProgIDs]
"opendocument.WriterDocument.1"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.odt\PersistentHandler]
@="{7BC0E713-5703-45BE-A29D-5D46D8B39262}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.odt\shellex]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.odt\shellex\{00021500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]
@="{087B3AE3-E237-4467-B8DB-5A38AB959AC9}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.odt\shellex\{BB2E617C-0920-11D1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}]
@="{3B092F0C-7696-40E3-A80F-68D74DA84210}"

Major:  	 Major loss of functionality - menu item broken, data output extremely incorrect, or otherwise difficult/useless to use.
Comment 2 Andreas J. Guelzow 2010-02-21 04:04:18 UTC 
Yes, "vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet-template" files normally have an extension of .ott
Comment 3 Jody Goldberg 2010-02-22 02:47:50 UTC 
Don't you mean 'ots' ?

This is managed in the nsis package.   It will be fixed in the next win32 build.
