The associations are with a executable file in a specific path.
No problem for two files with same name in different paths.
No problem to change the association to an executable file with the same
name in a different path.

Libo 3.3rc1 and OOo 3.3rc8 on same disk, also OOo 3.2.1 in a portable
mode (3.2.1 over 3.2.0 portable)

As many others already commented, I believe it's time that LibreOffice
changes the names of some of the individual applications, my humble
proposal:

Write
Spread

I think "Calc" is better than "Spread" because point out the application main purpose that is to execute many *calcs* rather than being mainly (a) "spread" (sheet), isn't it?

Several people have commented here that Calc sounds like a calculator program, not one with the kinds of features a spreadsheet provides. A spreadsheet is well understood to provide not only calculations, but also simple database-type and text layout capabilities -- there are plenty of people who use a spreadsheet when what they're really doing is creating a text document! "Spreadsheet" includes, but is not limited to, "calculations", so being a spreadsheet is more accurate. It truly is the purpose of Calc (or Spread, or whatever we call it).


However I think for 3.3 it is better to maintain the OOo names and then (3.4, 4.0, ...) rethinking icons, names and so on.

Any documentation released with the first LibO will necessarily have the old names to avoid delays, but we'll need this determined soon for the development of LibO-specific documentation.
