Bug: Libre office incorrectly opens visio *.vdx file with Writer instead of Draw. Expected behaviour: Double-clicking a visio vdx file from Windows Explorer, or using the File->Open menu item from within LibreOffice Draw should open the diagram in Draw Observed Behaviour: Double-clicking a visio vdx file from Windows Explorer, or using the File->Open menuitem from within LibreOffice Draw instead opens the file in Writer, displaying the raw xml as ASCII. The error occurs also from the Windows Command Prompt when run as follows: cd C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 5\program .\sdraw.exe -v D:\Downloads\test-visio.vdx And using the equivalent command under cygwin: cd /cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/LibreOffice 5/program ./sdraw.exe /cygdrive/D/Downloads/test-visio.vdx In all cases no error message is produced, just the odd observed behaviour. In cygwin the file type is reported as: XML 1.0 document, ASCII text, with very long lines. Windows Explorer properties reports filetype: "Microsoft Visio 2000/XP/2003 Document (.vdx)" Also Windows Explorer file association i.e. "opens with" is "Unknown Application" despite having previously been set to "LibreOffice Draw" Additional info: This bug occurs on Windows 10 pro 64bit, and on the latest release of LibreOffice as well (version of 5.2.5.1)
Does this happen with any .vdx file or just with a particular one? If the latter is true, could you attach the file here?
