Description: I was wondering why libreoffice wasn't show in nautilus to open attached file even if it can open it when doing it manually. That is because its mime type is not listed in libreoffice-writer.desktop file: $ mimetype pharmaceuticals-template.dot pharmaceuticals-template.dot: application/msword-template Thanks a lot Actual Results: libreoffice is not offered to open attached .dot file Expected Results: It should be offered Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Running libreoffice-7.0.3.1 on Gentoo Linux and Gnome desktop
Created attachment 168016 [details] pharmaceuticals-template.dot
The *possible* code pointers are filter/source/config/fragments/types/writer_MS_Word_95_Vorlage.xcu filter/source/config/fragments/types/writer_MS_Word_97_Vorlage.xcu Still I don't know if we must change it. Although "application/msword-template" is used in shared-mime-info [1], it's not a proper IANA-registered media type [2].

As a side note... currently the MS Word (though Crossover) and WPS-Office are setting that Mimetype... then both are currently being offered while libreoffice don't
Hello Pacho, a new major release of LibreOffice is available since this bug was reported. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
It is the same with 7.2.5.2
Why was it set to NEW? Has anyone confirmed it yet?
Tested with Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 34d32740d89876c3d4fd2743a07d6e2578601683 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL threaded When I try to open attacment 168016 a dialog pops up that asks me, which program I use for opening the file. If I choose LO I can open the file without any problem. So it's only a problem in Linux or has this probem been resolved. Could you please retest, Pacho? => NEEDINFO
The bug was about libreoffice not being offered to open dot files due to the needed mimetype being missing in the .desktop file (that is used on linux desktop for that) Now it seems to work... probably due to mime application/vnd.ms-word.template.macroEnabled.12 being specified now :/
