[indiana-discuss] Default association for OpenOffice mime types

[Martin Damboldt]

Hi Sriram,

I guess in the meantime you already made you way reading thru the issues 
referenced by Shawn. If not, I like to inform you that there is an issue 
within SMF (Service Management Facilities) of OpenSolaris and related 
there seems to be an open issue with zlib if I understand the referenced 
issues correct.

Due to this an automatic update of the mime entries is not possible for 
any installed newly application until open bugs are fixed.
So you would need to update the database manually by opening a terminal, 
bcomming root user and execuding the command "update-mime-database 
/usr/share/mime" which should push an update.

The second workaround would be to reboot the machine after installation 
of OpenOffice.org from the OpenSolaris repository. This will force an 
update of the mime entries on next start.

regards,
Martin

Danach sollte auch ein Doppelklick innerhalb von Gnome funktionieren.
