The app name in the registry (as written when installing) must be the same as passed to the function; to find out which is the string passed to the function, please execute soffice --version, which would give something like > ... > LibreOfficeDev 6.5.0.0.alpha0 46920005f74edcb70acfb8dd1a0ffb9553e5c2b2 and from this, LibreOfficeDev 6.5 (i.e., name and first two digits with dot between them) is the app name as should be present under HKLM\Software\RegisteredApplications. The string value in registry should point to Capabilities registry key. For testing, e.g. for me it's enough to add "LibreOfficeDev 6.5" to the RegisteredApplications, with value of "SOFTWARE\The Document Foundation\LibreOffice\6.3\Capabilities" pointing to capabilities of existing LO 6.3 installation. And then, on Windows before 10, 'Set Defaults by App' should open; on Windows 10, according to MS policy, <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/7N2xp.png">https://i.stack.imgur.com/7N2xp.png</a> should appear, suggesting to user where to set the settings.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
