NOP, Thunar, and "default word processor"

#1 Post by OldYogi »

Thunar, running in NOP 4.1, looks for a "default word processor" when I try to open a *.doc file. How do get it to recognize Open Office Writer as the default?

thanks.

or a more permanent solution

edit
/usr/local/bin/defaultwordprocessor

so that it uses the appropriate executable for OOo writer
