Bug 82335

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.

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?

Presentation file

Writer 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?

It's because those extensions not associated by default with LO. 

@Daniel, no need to set your own report as NEEDINFO :)

@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 ?
