OpenOffice.org using %U vs %F to open files

[Chris Cheney]

I talked with Sebastien, and Martin last Friday about OpenOffice.org
having problems opening files over various different systems that gvfs
supports. OpenOffice.org currently uses %U to try to open files and
often manages to screw up while doing so. The discussion involved
potentially switching the %U to %F in the desktop files to have
gvfs-fuse-daemon do the heavy lifting. I think someone also mentioned
possibly changing something in nautilus, maybe to do this automatically,
but I wasn't clear on what was being talked about with respect to
nautilus.

So does anyone consider changing the %U to a %F a good idea or should
something else be done?

Thanks!
