Bug Description

Drag an OpenOffice file (I've tried it with an .odt file) into the CD/DVD Creator. Then double-click it there.
OpenOffice starts up, but then shows a message "General Internet error has occurred" and doesn't open the file.
I believe that this used to work in Edgy, though I can't try it any more. It seems similar to Bug #47461, though.

I don't get "General Internet error has occurred" here (Hardy, 1:2.4.0~rc2-1ubuntu3), but OOo still silently fails to open the burn:/// URL. Perhaps converting OOo over from gnome-vfs to gvfs would help matters? I note that the gvfs-* command-line tools seem to be able to cope with burn:/// while gnomevfs-* can't.

The gstreamer fix in the other bug you mention doesn't seem to be applicable; it registers its own gnome-vfs handlers rather than just being a client of gnome-vfs, so it's in a different situation.

Hopefully enabling gio support in OOo will correct this issue.

Note that even gnome applications like gedit can only read files from burn:// it can't write files (eg save) to a burn:// url.

There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that has not happened already.

Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to allow cross pollination.
