Hi all,

Here's the problem I am trying to tackle.

I have a presentation in Open Office (.odp) that uses external
handlers to play multimedia. For instance, it plays movies (.mov,
.avi, .mpg) directly, or, in some instances, it calls scripts (a Ruby
script, for instance) to call them. Now, under KDE3.5 things worked as
defined in Konqueror. Under KDE4, no such luck.

For instance, that Ruby script would execute fine out of a Konqueror
window but it just fails to execute out of the ODP. Instead, an editor
opens that shows me the content of the script. The same with the movie
files - they fail to open the same way; if you are lucky, a Konqueror
plugin will play them - but I want a standalone application of my
choosing.

How do I fix that? Any ideas?

Thanks.

Boris.
