[Bug 39799] Re: Unable to open .odt documents

 

It's 2011, Ubuntu is no longer a newby in the Linux world, and the PDF
manager Evince is stiil opening the ODT files, instead of
Libreoffice!!!???

You click with the right button, ask to "remember the association to
open odt presentations with THIS application", chose Impress... and...
no way, the ODT files are still associated with Document Viewer 2.03
Evince  :-(
