Hi,

here's a response I've made a fewminutes ago to the French LibO users list.

Le 30/01/2011 23:49, spasmous@gmail.com a écrit :


I see there are several replies that involve setting each extension one by
one. It would make sense to have an option in LibreOffice to select all
possible formats that can be opened by LibreOffice. The VLC media player has
such an option and is very useful - there are dozens of formats and it's
convenient that one program can handle them all.

NB : for a direct use, see help option /?

And here's for an automated use.

1. Create two text files with the desired parameters.

These files can be created with a command pipe (this what I've done to get those files). The data below are what I'm using for OOo installs. Feel free to adapt for LibO.

a. Extensions File, that I name MSOext.txt

I got it by typing
assoc > MSOext.txt
then eliminating useless entries.

8< ------------------------------------
.doc=OpenOffice.org.Doc
.docm=OpenOffice.org.Docm
.docx=OpenOffice.org.Docx
.dot=OpenOffice.org.Dot
.dotm=OpenOffice.org.Dotm
.dotx=OpenOffice.org.Dotx
.pot=OpenOffice.org.Pot
.potm=OpenOffice.org.Potm
.potx=OpenOffice.org.Potx
.pps=OpenOffice.org.Pps
.ppt=OpenOffice.org.Ppt
.pptm=OpenOffice.org.Pptm
.pptx=OpenOffice.org.Pptx
.rtf=OpenOffice.org.Rtf
.xls=OpenOffice.org.Xls
.xlsb=OpenOffice.org.Xlsb
.xlsm=OpenOffice.org.Xlsm
.xlsx=OpenOffice.org.Xlsx
.xlt=OpenOffice.org.Xlt
.xltm=OpenOffice.org.Xltm
.xltx=OpenOffice.org.Xltx
------------------------------------ >8

b. Types File, that I'm naming MSOtypes.exe

I got it by typing
ftype > MSOtypes.txt
then eliminating useless entries.

(beware to text wrap. One line per type)

8< ------------------------------------
OpenOffice.org.Doc="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\\swriter.exe" -o "%1" OpenOffice.org.Docm="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\\swriter.exe" -o "%1" OpenOffice.org.Docx="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\\swriter.exe" -o "%1" OpenOffice.org.Dot="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\\swriter.exe" -o "%1" OpenOffice.org.Dotm="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\\swriter.exe" -o "%1" OpenOffice.org.Dotx="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\\swriter.exe" -o "%1" OpenOffice.org.Pot="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\\simpress.exe" -o "%1" OpenOffice.org.Potm="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\\simpress.exe" -o "%1" OpenOffice.org.Potx="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\\simpress.exe" -o "%1" OpenOffice.org.Pps="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\\simpress.exe" -o "%1" OpenOffice.org.Ppt="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\\simpress.exe" -o "%1" OpenOffice.org.Pptm="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\\simpress.exe" -o "%1" OpenOffice.org.Pptx="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\\simpress.exe" -o "%1" OpenOffice.org.Rtf="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\\swriter.exe" -o "%1" OpenOffice.org.Xls="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\\scalc.exe" -o "%1" OpenOffice.org.Xlsb="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\\scalc.exe" -o "%1" OpenOffice.org.Xlsm="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\\scalc.exe" -o "%1" OpenOffice.org.Xlsx="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\\scalc.exe" -o "%1" OpenOffice.org.Xlt="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\\scalc.exe" -o "%1" OpenOffice.org.Xltm="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\\scalc.exe" -o "%1" OpenOffice.org.Xltx="C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program\\scalc.exe" -o "%1"
------------------------------------ >8


2. Finally, the shell script that fits the bill

8< ------------------------------------
setlocal

set _Types=%~dp0MSOtypes.txt
set _Ext=%~dp0MSOext.txt

FOR /F "tokens=* delims=" %%G IN (%_types%) DO FTYPE %%G> nul
FOR /F "tokens=* delims=" %%G IN (%_ext%) DO ASSOC %%G> nul

endlocal
------------------------------------ >8

Here we are...
I'm using the script above any time I need to ensure the associations are OK, eg after installing MSOffice Viewers.
