Since upgrading from KDE 4.93 to 4.94 yesterday opendocument files are not opened in Libreoffice any more, but treated as zip-files (which they also are) which means the files contained in the .odt are shown. Libreoffice is set as priority one in file association settings of KDE (both general and embedded). It also shows up first when doing right-click and selecting "open-with". Reproducible: Always
Thanks for the bug report. I cannot test it at the moment, but it looks like it might have been caused by the fix for bug 188989: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/101455/
Confirmed (if "Open archives as folder" is enabled). It's indeed caused by the fix for bug 188989 - reverting that commit from kdelibs makes it work correctly again. Raising severity. It would even qualify as a release blocker IMHO, but unfortunately, the release has happened already.

Git commit 73283f1332e90fbb6fe0caa39a038cb16b83a54c by David Faure. Committed on 05/12/2012 at 22:42. Pushed by dfaure into branch 'KDE/4.9'. Revert "Also check parent mimetypes in protocolForArchiveMimetype()." This reverts commit 4f296cfbced2c4ad54beec8f500ed2d3fc04ee05. It breaks opening odt and other zip-based files in external apps. That's what I get for delegating the testing :-) M +1 -18 kio/kio/kprotocolmanager.cpp http://commits.kde.org/kdelibs/73283f1332e90fbb6fe0caa39a038cb16b83a54c
This'll be in kde 4.9.5? Any workaround for the mean time?
(In reply to comment #6) > This'll be in kde 4.9.5? Yes. Maybe I'll send a message to the packagers later today or tomorrow about this issue (and 2 other regressions: bug 311246, bug 311206), so they can decide if they think it's worth the effort to provide updated 4.9.4 packages. > Any workaround for the mean time? Disable "Open archives as folder" in the settings.
I already emailed the packagers last Wednesday with the patch :) So this might be in 4.9.4 -- or not, I didn't get any answer.
The patch is already shipped in Kubuntu (my own setup) and OpenSuse (according to Jos Poortvliet).

This happens in KDE 4.10 Beta 2. (4.9.90). Has it been fixed in the coming 4.10?

This is a problem is still seen in Gwenview 4.10.0. The browse part lists .ods / odt / docx files etc as folders.
Also k3b project saves open as zip archives.
I am just seeing this in KF 5.22. In Dolphin, .ods files open like archives instead of being opened in LibreOffice.
Since I am still seeing this a year later (now in KF 5.28.0), I am going to reopen the report hoping for someone to be able to either confirm or deny the existence of this behaviour. :) The problem I am seeing is as described by the reporter. The work-around with disabling "Open archives as folder" in Dolphin settings also still works.
Frederik, do you have Krusader installed? What you are seeing might be bug 371765.
Thanks Christoph for pointing me to that. Uninstalling Krusader made the problem go away. :)
