Hi all,

That sounds ridiculous at fist glance ,right? But it happens here .
In my Wheezy , when I try to open a .ppt file( I really don't want to
do ,but no other way @_@),
I double click the file (eg, test.ppt) , it pops up a dialog which
shows it doesn't support the file format.
yes, it is the Gnumeric that executes and tries to open a .ppt .

I also try to right-click the file (test.ppt), the context menu shows
the gnumeric first , and then libreoffice impress.
It seems that I should change the priority , so I click the "use other
application" of context menu ,and choose the
libreoffice impress and mark the " remember the application that open
MS Powerpoint". I thought it were ok .
but it doesn't !! When opening anther .ppt file , the system still
chooses the gnumeric to open it (I think the
Gnumeric has a WRONG priority).

BTW, it's useless to purge gnumeric and reinstall it late, which means
after purging the gnumeric the system temporarily
use the libreoffice impress to open .ppt files , BUT the system
chooses to open .ppt file using gnumeric by default after I install
the gnumeric again

any clue ? it's not a big problem, but bothersome!

Nope, if you are using GNOME. It sounds normal to give GNOME applications
a higher priority than others, like html files that open with Epiphany
instead Iceweasel :-)

(...)

Try with another method.

Right-click on the PPT file and select "Properties". Then go to "Open
with" tab and try to set it from there.

I mean gnumeric is for excel while it tries to open a ppt :-).
yes, I'm using GNOME. And the priority the system sets for us is absurd @_@.

Ouch! My bad O:-)

I didn't put attention on the extension but the application, sorry.

This is not a question of priority, but of wrong application. Please
file a bug against gnumeric, if one doesn't already exist.

I remember I tried to open a ppt with gnumeric carelessly ,'casue
the bad mouse ! So the system
remembers it ,and sets gnumeric a highest "priority"(wrong application) .
Is it really necessary to file a bug , Andrei?

Well, in this case I think the system did exactly what you asked it to
do, so there is no bug
