Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc 3.4.4 OS: Linux I plug in in my usb pendrive. Open it with konqueror at media:/ Click on a openoffice document. I see Openoffice's splash screen. And when it finishes loading its just closes itself and doesn't show me the document. If i open from /mnt/pen instead of media:/ everyhing is fine.
Here's a fix/workaround: Go to Settings/Configure Konqueror/File Associations Search for .odt and change the Writer commandline from this: oowriter2 %U to this: oowriter2 %F Note that I'm using a KDE-enabled OOo build (USE="kde"). With this change I can now open files in media:/. According to the docs, "%U: A list of URLs; will download the file first and pass a local file to the app (!!)", "%F: A list of files; use for applications that can open several local files at once." I'm somewhat astonished that %U doesn't do its job in this case. (Or so it seems.)
Thanks for your answer. It worked. :) Still it's just a workaround. I think this bug should be marked as confirmed. Another strange thing, if i open a shell script at /mnt/mountpoint it executes, and if i open it at /media/hdaX it opens with a text editor.
This is an OpenOffice.org problem and its fixed in 2.0.2 version. If you --enable-kde.
