Please add this to the installation info plist so LibreOffice will show up in Finder as Productivity category. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <string>public.app-category.productivity</string> </plist>
Patch: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <string>public.app-category.productivity</string> </plist>
Does the patch resolve the issue? I don't use Finder so I can't test it but please let us know and we'll close the bug.
Well, IMHO this should read (the key was missing!): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <key>LSApplicationCategoryType</key> <string>public.app-category.productivity</string> </plist> And actually, only two lines are new: <key>LSApplicationCategoryType</key> <string>public.app-category.productivity</string> ... the rest is already present, of course, in any plist file. IMHO this is a valid and reasonable enhancement request, therefore I set the Status of this report to NEW.
@Thorsten Behrens: This mini-enhancement request already includes the necessary addition for LibreOffice.app/Contents/Info.plist; so IMHO you could just push this to master ... Thank you! (cf. e.g. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1100100
