Of course it tells the already running process to open the file. What else?

In OOo times we had a patch which prevented this by inventing a new option -no-oosplash (used in .mime) which we didn't take over for LO apparently. And now it's too late for wheezy so it'll probably be only fixed for wheezy+1... Regards, Rene -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
