Bug report - LibreOffice instances are recognized by soffice.bin instead of soffice.exe

from Stardock Forums

Steps to reproduce:

1 - Open LibreOffice,

2 - Activate Groupy for it,

3 - Press + button to open a new LibreOffice file.

4 - Result: soffice.bin is opened with VLC Media Player leading it to crash.

Expected result: a new LibreOffice file is opened.

LibreOffice should be recognized by soffice.exe and not soffice.bin.

 

This topic is a duplicate of a previous topic I opened. Decided to provide this format to help devs replicate the behaviour and come up with a fix quickly.

 

All the best.

soffice.bin isn't actually a media file.  It is the LibreOffice app.

Exactly why OpenOffice/LibreOffice works like that I am not sure, but that's the process name that's returned by Windows for those processes.  I will see if we can hardcode a mapping from that to the exe instead in the future.

Hello,

There is a way around it - kinda (editing the Groupy file):

Neil working on this, however, is the noteworthy news.
