Description Thorsten Staerk 2005-10-11 11:56:28 UTC

I do not know if this problem occurred on SUSE 9.3. I have updated from SUSE 
9.3 to SUSE 10. This bug is 100% reproducible. 
 
I have an odp file example.odp on a local directory. I start KDE, konqueror, 
and right-click onto example.odp, chose "Open with -> OpenOffice.org Impress". 
OpenOffice starts and loads the file, everything okay! 
Now, I move example.odp to a fish:/ drive with konqueror. It arrives 
correctly. Now, I right-click onto example.odp. I chose "Open with -> 
OpenOffice.org Impress". OpenOffice shows the start screen, then, the 
startscreen disappears and there is no more OpenOffice. 
Now, I right-click onto example.odp, chose "Open with -> Other", type "ooffice 
%U" and OpenOffice loads it correctly. 
I start kcontrol, search for file associations -> odp and get the command 
ooffice %U associated with it.

Petr, can you look into this one too. 
Thankyou

Comment 2 Petr Mladek 2005-11-11 18:56:31 UTC

It works for me just only if I write "ooffice" without the "%U". It works because KDE downloads the file and open a temporary local copy. You can see the temporary path if you try File->Save As.

It does not work if you use "%U" because then KDE pass the whole URL fish://user@host/path/to/file to the OOo wrapper. Unfortunately, the integration of OOo into KDE is not perfect. OOo is not able to open the file via the  fish:// protocol.

On the other hand, OOo should show a message box about that this protocol is not supported. Kendy, what do you think?

Thorsten, are you sure that you typed "ooffice %U" into the "Open with -> Other" dialog? Could you double check it, please?

Comment 3 Thorsten Staerk 2005-11-12 10:09:37 UTC

OpenOffice handles the fish:/ protocol on my computer at work. I think to remember this works since I installed OpenOffice_org-kde.
Yes, this bug is still needinfo.

Comment 4 Thorsten Staerk 2005-11-12 10:27:21 UTC

With SUSE 10, you do not need OpenOffice_org-kde. I double-checked, same bug 100% reproducible on my other computer. I want to point your attention to the core aspect of this bug report:
1. make an OpenOffice presentation containing a slide "test". Save it as /home/user/test.odp
2. Open the presentation from fish://user@localhost/home/user
2a. Opening with rightClick and writing the program name "ooffice %U" works
2b. Opening with rightClick and chosing "OpenOffice.org Impress" does not work

but, as a matter of fact, "OpenOffice.org Impress" is from you and I associated it with ooffice %U - however, I have to type this manually.

This is no duplicate, I do not get any error message.

It really is a duplicate, KIO support solves all of this.
