• File associations

Those who install OpenOffice.org and OOo4Kids will see that the file associations are linked to the software that was installed last.

Eric Seigne ([Ryxeo] / AbulEdu), whom we want to thank in passing, wrote an application called ooochooser which is used to select the file association opened by double clicking between OOo4Kids and OpenOffice.org.

=> Warning: only for Windows (Linux version under consideration)
