<pre>Description:
Wanting to add a hyperlink to an audio file (.wav or .mp3) in Calc (and
writer).
If the link is a TEXT type then exercising the link spawns the preferred sound
app for the extension type and the sound plays. All good.
If the same files are linked using a BUTTON link then exercising the link
results in:
a) for .wav files: some internal LO process runs and plays the file with no
visible controls and continues to play after LO is closed(!); and
b) for .mp3 files: LO crashes (Win 10 32bit) or opens the file as a text file
(Linux - openSUSE 64bit).
I think the behaviours need to be consistent and that the TEXT link behaviour
is to be preferred.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create calc or writer document
2. Insert 2 links to a .way file, one as text and one as button.
3. Insert 2 links to a .mp3 file, one as text and one as button.
4. Save file and close.
5. Re-open document and exercise the links.
Actual Results:
TEXT links work as expected spawning the preferred audio app to play the file.
Button links do not work as expected.
If the file is .wav then some internal LO SW plays the file.
If the file is .mp3 & OS=WIN10 (32bit) then LO crashes and exits
If the file is .mp3 & OS=openSUSE (64bit) then LO displays the file as a text
file.
Expected Results:
BUTTON links should operate in the same way as TEXT links do.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Tested on an old 32 bit nettop (Atom N270) running WIN10 and on an i3 desktop
running 64 bit openSUSE both running LO 5.3
