mozilla-libreoffice mislabeled as OpenOffice.org Plug-in

[José Lou Chang]

Binary package hint: libreoffice

The mozilla-libreoffice package which allows Mozilla applications such as Firefox to load LibreOffice compatible documents incorrectly show up us "OpenOffice.org Plug-in" in Mozilla Firefox's Add-ons Manager.

Since we are transitioning to Libreoffice, it should be identified as "LibreOffice Plug-in" or just "Mozilla-LibreOffice"

Hmmmm, how come you assigned this to Firefox?

[Fabián Rodríguez (magicfab)]

I guess this should not be named specifically after libre-office but rather after ODF - as this plugin would handle ODF documents, not "libreoffice documents".

[José Lou Chang (obake)]

Hello Fabián Rodríguez. Thank you for commenting and confirming the bug.

The description for Mozilla-Libreoffice in a Package Manager shows:
"This package contains a Mozilla/Netscape plug-in which can handle ALL OO.o documents"

Doesn't that mean that ANY format that is supported by OpenOffice/LibreOffice (including perhaps doc files) can be used by Mozilla-Libreoffice? If it is, then it is not just ODF.

[Fabián Rodríguez (magicfab)]

@José I don't have a final answer for that but even "all OOo documents" would be covered by all ODF document types:

Excluding PDF of course.

for now only on master (-3-6 or later), so no precise target.
