Re: [libreoffice-users] .odt - default package being Okular not LO

Tom, I have changed the default package back to LO, but my wonder is why 
.odt did not go to LO when it what changed.

Okular does not read them properly at all, the only time I allowed it to 
open a .odt file, or at least that was my memory.

It is just weird that LO did not take all of its mimes associations 
back.  It tends to be that the newly installed package who uses the 
mime/extension get it over the one that had it before.  Then you have to 
change the properties of the extensions to give it back to the package 
of your choice. It seems to be that way with the audio/video packages I 
install on Ubuntu, so why not .odt going to LO when it was installed?  I 
think that Okular was installed by Ubuntu and not me.  I do not need 
that package so I would not have installed it.

By the way, as an install option for LO, I do like the part where I am 
asked if LO was going to be for just "me" or any user on the computer.  
I do not know if it is part of the OS install process, but I have seen 
it with the installation of extensions as well. For a multi-user 
computer, that is an interesting option.
