[Bug 47506] RE: [Bug 47506] Re: OpenOffice files not openable in Places->RecentDocuments

[Frank Rudzicz]

Out of 377 items in .recently-used, 
<Mime-Type>application/octet-stream</Mime-Type> appears 6 times - with *odp 
twice, with *ods twice, and with *odg twice. On the other hand, 3 
presentations, 17 graphics, 5 spreadsheets and 1 text opendocument files  
have the correct mime type.

I think I might have found another clue. Some presentations have caused 
OpenOffice to collapse on startup - they begin to load, and then ooffice 
shuts down and gives me the document recovery error message. One file in 
particular was causing a lot of troubles back in March on Suse. At the time, 
I seemed to correct this problem by reinstalling the sun java jre (1.5) and 
the reinstalling openoffice. The problematic file was not in my 
.recently-used in Dapper, so I tried to open it conventially 
(double-clicking in Nautilus). OpenOffice crashed again, and the resulting 
entry in .recently used shows
<Mime-Type>application/octet-stream</Mime-Type>. I'm led to believe that all 
OpenOffice files open at the time of such a crash will result in the faulty 
mime-type entry in .recenty-used.
