Hello, Setup: clean Debian lenny with KDE 3.5. Then OpenOffice 3.1 backported packages, mime-support from squeeze (it includes mime types for Office 2007 files).
After that, KDE still sees xlsx/docx/pptx files as Zip files so I added the extensions for their respective OO.org applications in Control Center / KDE Components / File associations (ex: *.docx for application/msword, *.xlsx for application/msexcel). Then log out/log in to KDE, and xlsx/pptx files are correctly associated to openoffice but docx files are still seen as a Zip archive (application/x-zip). I tried with several docx files. Manually associate them with "Open with" is not a solution because then Zip files would also be opened in OO.org. I have investigated as long as ideas were still coming but could not pinpoint anything. Anyway I could see that: - (a) mime types seem equally well configured for docx and xlsx (and KDE ignores them) - (b) file utility see all those types as a Zip archive Opening those files from iceweasel (if attached to a mail for ex.) works (which confirms that mime/mailcap configuration is good). relevant KDE configuration files (/usr/share/mimelnk/application/[msword|msexcel].desktop) seem to be configured the exact same way. Now I am short of ideas... so I hope that someone here can give some good hint to fix or work around this. (I posted this exact message in [1]; but there I included some commands output to justify (a) and (b)).
