Hi,
Suddenly, I cannot open .xls of .ods documents. Something I have altered recently may have done this. If I right click open with options I cannot find Open office. pdf files are opening with Okular as default. Previously Excel files opened with Open Office as default.Open office appears to be installed. Can anyone suggest how I can get these files to open and set it as default again.
Sorry again for the learner level question.
I’m guessing that you might have updated KDE recently?
I don’t do quite this, but the connection between filename extensions and ‘auto-opening’ this file is set by ‘System Settings > Advanced > Configure File Associations’
When I check in there, I have, eg,
known types : vnd.ms-excel (and I don't understand the vnd part)
filename patterns : .xla .xlc .xld .xll .xlm .xls .xlt .xlw
Application order : OpenOffice.org Calc Gnumeric
that should ensure that files with any of those .xl* extensions should be opened by preference with OO Calc.
