I confirmed on Windows 11 Home 25H2 26200.9168 the icons for ODFs are not application specific. I ensure my extensions of odt, ods are associated with LibreOffice.WriterDocument.1 and LibreOffice.CalcDocument.1 respectively. I argue that we may not need to keep the verbs of ODFs to point of soffice.exe to enable a menu icon when multi-selecting different types of ODFs. LibreOffice points Micro Office format to module specific executable instead of soffice.exe, which misaligns with ODFs. Additionally, Word and Excel don't provide the same feature that displays "open", "new" and "print" items in the menu when selecting multiple types of files. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
