Hi All, This seems to be one of the most consistent complaints from users as I'm going through the bug list. The issue is three fold (or more). 1. Defaults "hijack" everything -- vs. defaulting to allow users to select 2. No check to see if Microsoft Office is installed and thus some prompt to see if we want to "replace" it 3. Changing defaults once installed very difficult (or not possible?). 4. Other file associations outside of Microsoft are also "hijacked" -- see bug on txt files Here are just a few of the FDO's that I came across: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39791 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44462 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43519 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38310 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47483 Each one deals with the same issue in a different manner -- ie. file associations and defaults. I personally like the mock up done in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44462 I have a few questions, I know that one of these bugs is assigned but not sure about current status. I have a couple suggestions and wanted feedback: 1. Most annoying bug? I think it qualifies with at least 5 different people complaining about it with multiple comments on many of them 2. Can I make a bug that takes every complaint into account and then mark these all as dupes of the one I make? Thanks all, Joel
