Bug Description
Impact:
libreoffice database odb file open in file-roller rather than libreoffice
Test case:
- Create a new database file (foo.odb) using LibreOffice Base (or download the one from comment #3)
- Open foo.odb via dash home / recent files or double click on it in nautilus
With the fixed version it should open with libreoffice-base
Regression potential:
- the odb files could open with the wrong application still
---
Since the odb extension is associated with Archive Manager (alias File Roller) as a default, I got a nice error at this point.
If I open Nautilis and correct the file association to LibreOffice, the above steps work OK, as expected. The question is: why was the odf extension by default associated with the Archive Manager application?
