Hi Everyone,

I think that it will be useful if we could also _set/unset_ *after 
installation* (from Tools -> Options menu -> Load/Save -> ..., of 
course) the following capabilities:
- LibreOffice file associations (proprietary one, OpenDocument one);
- LibreOffice file "open with" list for each file type.

What do you think about?

Have a nice day,

Carlo
