Attachments: Dolphin context menu for odg document

Description Miguel Moreno 2022-11-06 22:04:24 CET 
As well as putting in the context menu "open a new Open Office or Draw, impress or Calc document" in both Desktop and Dolphin.

In the other distributions based on Kde (Open Suse, Fedora or Kubuntu) the context menu does appear, however in Mageia 8 I have not seen this feature yet.

I have all those packages installed but even so the context menu to create Libreoffice files does not appear in both Desktop and Dolphin.
Thanks.

Try creating a new user. Logout/in as the new user and see if the problem
is there for that user.

Thank you, but nothing to make, i create 2 users more but no there are results.

Is a misterius.
Comment 5 Dave Hodgins 2022-11-07 18:43:16 CET 
I'm not clear from comment 4. Do the new users have the context menu entries
to open existing libreoffice files in libreoffice or not?
Comment 6 Dave Hodgins 2022-11-07 18:48:18 CET 
Ah. Sorry. Reading all of the above again. This is about right clicking on
empty space in dolphin, and then moving the mouse pointer over "Create New".
It does not include the various libreoffice file types, just text and html.
It's not about opening existing files.

Assigning to the registered maintainer of libreoffice.

For reference, the templates are explained in e.g. https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?t=119342 or https://frommindtotype.wordpress.com/2020/04/23/kde-plasma-add-a-template-to-the-create-new-menu/

Seems those templates should be put in the systemwide XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR
Comment 9 Miguel Moreno 2022-11-08 19:39:21 CET 
Well, I'm already tired of patches and botches: whether they do it right or not: it can't be that it works in the other distros and NO in Mageia!
