Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Set libreoffice file associations

Hi,

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

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.
