Bug#472952: RTF MIME type
Package: openoffice.org-writer
Version: 1:2.3.1-5
Severity: wishlist
In /usr/share/applications/ooo-writer.desktop, the writer application is
associated with the MIME type application/rtf. KDE 3, however, uses the MIME
type text/rtf, so the "click on the document to open it" routine doesn't work
with RTF documentes and OOo. Both MIME types are valid according to IANA.
I think for maximum compatibility it would be trivial to add text/rtf to the
list of supported MIME types.
I have filed the same bug upstream at
<http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=87503>, but it appears that
the Debian Debian packaging and the upstream Debian packaging use different
..desktop files, so I am filing a bug here as well.
