I've got them in kingsoftstore.com/download-office/Select PPT or Writer templates. 1. .dpt files is for KingSoft Presentation 2. .wpt files is for KingSoft Writer Unfortunately, these Kingsoft's files format does not support LibreOffice. Can anyone fix this problem?
According to this article: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/10-things/10-reasons-why-kingsoft-office-is-better-than-the-competition/ Kingsoft Office is relatively new and should be able to interact with LibreOffice through the supported MSOffice formats. This sounds more like a feature request than a bug. --Algot

Or rather with ODF formats which are open formats, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument
I downloaded a few samples from http://kingsoftstore.com/download-office/word-template and libreoffice 4.2 opens them just fine. Anyway, as far as I can see, they are normal DOC files with a different extension. Could you attach a few sample files that you were unable to open?
Created attachment 104289 [details] Presentation file

I can open both files without problem in LO 4.2.6.2 and 4.3.1.1 under Ubuntu 12.04 x86
Please test both attachment above... No problems with PPT, XLS, DOC. I've just found that new file types that I never heard in another page in other categories in that same webpage. But I'm sure that they are part of office file-format, too.
@ign_christian: But, not like me, why I cannot open both that file? Is there any problems?

@ign_christian: Who set report as needinfo? I'm not to set it. Except, just waiting your decision to make sure you can fix this bug.
Can anyone fix this file directly to this app? So people are not confused to open this file type or do not need to Right-click => Open with. So, I select each this file directly via file manager and open associated by default with LO.
So, what should be done here (this is for wpt; I am leaving dpt as an excercise for the reader): * add the extension to filter/source/config/fragments/types/writer_MS_Word_97.xcu (separated by a space); * add new pattern to sysui/desktop/mimetypes/ms-word-document.desktop and sysui/desktop/mimetypes/ms-word-document2.desktop; * add the extension to sysui/desktop/macosx/Info.plist.in to the same array 'doc' is in; * add the extension to array g_Extensions in setup_native/source/win32/customactions/reg4allmsdoc/reg4allmsi.cxx . (The Kingsoft Office types could also be added as separate types, but I do not think it is worth it.)
Hi, I am new and I feel I can start working from here. @Daniel,Algot: Both of the above mentioned files work just fine, I am using 4.4 build version of LO, I just have to manually open it using Open-with option.
@David Tardon: I added the ".dpt"(In its correct place (alphabetically)) extension to reg4allmsi.cxx. Its the same thing for the ".dwt" extension as well I guess. What do I do next ? Thank You.

I will also have to add the MIMETypes as well for both the extensions ? Correct ?

See comment 14, and also comment 18. It seems a fix was made, but then abandoned before it was working. I am here to help non-committers getting their first patch submitted. if you have problems/questions please feel free to email me directly jani@documentfoundation.org Of also using IRC and our mailing list is a good idea.

@Akshay, it is not nice just to take a patch from another person, especially not when the last comment is only 1 day old. @Dhruv, you asked to work on this patch, so if you want to, simply reassign yourself. Of course if the two of you have spoken about it, outside these comments then everything is ok.
@jan iverson: Oh, sorry. I didn't actually saw that the previous comment was just one day old. @Dhruv: If you want to work on this, I'm leaving this for now :)
This is actually not that easy for an easy hack, at least for Linux-based newbies, as building a LibreOffice that would include desktop integration with file type registration is clearly harder for a newbie than doing a normal developer-only build without any packages. As has been demonstrated plainly the recent weeks. Add to that then that the vast majority of our users are on Windows, and it is for Windows that it presumably would be of greater usefulness to associate with KingSoft types. Or am I mistaken?

Or am I mistaken? You are not mistaken, we need the registration for windows. I am however confused we already register file types so it seems to be adding the extra file types, what did I miss?
@akshay I want to work on this.
