"specific to the version in 16.04": That may be possible. Fortunately I happened to find the workaround how to change a MIME setting despite xfce4-mime-settings refuses to alter some of the settings by first associating the file browser to a file type and then my specific version of LO. So the next one who gets trapped hopefully finds this discussion and even more hopefully, he/she finds my workaround (which is a bit hard to find since my whole report is in the attachment because I could not include screenshots into my initial posting).
It looks like the settings are stored per user in his home-directory's .config path, specifically in ~/.config/mimeapps.list. Would it be possible to change things here using a text editor? Unfortunately xfce4-mime-settings does not allow to search or even search/replace so changing the associations is a tedious job. At least one can sort the list by the second column such that all LO entries are close to each other. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1802582 Title: Inconsistency in xfce4-mime-settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-settings/+bug/1802582/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
