PCManFM shows and opens ODB files as ZIP files

[Josep Pujadas-Jubany]

In Lubuntu's PCManFM, ODB files look like zip files, and open with Archive Manager by default.

Not sure if this is a default settings thing or a PCManFM thing, because if PCManFM is installed in Ubuntu, PCManFM will display ODB as Zip although Nautilus correctly shows ODB logo (see attachment).

Expected: ODB files open with LibreOffice Base if installed.
Result: ODB files open with Archive Manager by default, regardless of installation of LibreOffice Base.

Simple workaround:
Right-click on ODB file, select Open With...
Select LibreOffice Base
Check box next to "Set selected application as default action for this file type"

Versions affected: precise, vivid

original report:

Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS 32 bit + lubuntu-desktop

Using pcmanfm ODB files (OpenOffice/LibreOffice Base) are "detected" as ZIP files.

At LXDE desktop if I open LXTerminal and I call nautilus, nautilus shows correctly de mime type of the file (open application and icon file).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Still present in current versions. Attached is output of "ubuntu-bug pcmanfm --save"

Nautilus (upper left) shows ODB file as ODB file, whereas PCManFM (lower right) shows ODB as a zip.

This has been resolved upstream (at the very least in the daily PPA): https://sourceforge.net/p/pcmanfm/bugs/925/

I will mark as Fix Committed.

Lubuntu doesn't use LXDE anymore so dropping lubuntu-default-settings.
