Description: If any Libreoffice component is passed a Windows .lnk file as an argument, it tries to open it as a text or csv file, rather than following the link to the file pointed to. For example, "scalc.exe foo.xls.lnk" tries to open foo.xls.lnk as a text or csv file, rather than following the link to the desired file foo.xls. Microsoft office products exhibit the desired behavior. Last version tested: 7.2.3 Note that this behavior breaks dragging and dropping a .lnk file onto a LibreOffice executable, because obviously the Windows shell just give the LO executable the .lnk file as the file arg. Steps to Reproduce: 1.scalc.exe foo.xls.lnk" 2. 3. Actual Results: opens .lnk file itself Expected Results: open file to which .lnk points. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: [Information automatically included from LibreOffice] Locale: en-US Module: SpreadsheetDocument [Information guessed from browser] OS: Windows (All) OS is 64bit: yes
Clarification: Dragging and dropping .xls.lnk into an open application DOES produce the desired result. The bug occurs when dragging and dropping to a desktop icon.
