Gnome/Nautilus: Can't associate OO document
Hello When I open the Nautilus file manager and click on a *.sxw document, the message "Nautilus has no installed viewer capable of displaying <file>". I associate the file type with soffice but that doesn't work either (it appears to "take" but subsequent double clicks come back with the first message. Does anyone know where I have to drill to make this work? Cheers

Been there, done that. I can see the window opening up that says "Edit File type" <No Icon> Description: OpenOffice.org Writer document MIME type: application/vnd.sun.xml.writer Category: Documents/Word Processor Filename extensions: Add: <blank> sxw Actions Grayed out -> Viewer component: Grayed out -> Default Action Program to run: /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/soffice Still doesn't work

Still doesn't work
This has been my experience as well. With other file types, I have gone through this process 4 or 5 times and then , eventually, it seems to "take." It simply refuses to work for OpenOffice though, despite pointing to the "soffice" command. Very irritating. David -- Si Hoc Legere Scis Nimium Eruditionis Habes
