Description Unknown 2001-11-11 10:40:49 UTC 
When starting openoffice as follows:
  /OpenOffice/soffice someWord.doc
I expect that it would open an window on someWord.doc . Instead it attempts to 
rewrite someWord.doc as a file:// URL pointing to a completely different 
directory, and fails with a file-not-found.
If a file: URL is already supplied to begin with, it works (but is 
hasslesome...)
  /OpenOffice/soffice file:///`pwd`/someWord.doc

Opening files from the commandline is not only a nice convenience, but also 
important for integrating it into the window manager or desktop environment. 
Indeed many desktop environments call "program document" when doubleclicking 
on document. As it is, a wrapper is needed to make it work.
