It's a pleasure to write scientific texts involving statistics and graphs with RMarkdown in RStudio, which has become my favorite application for this purpose.
When clicking on a .docx file in the browser in the corner to the bottom right of RStudio, this file would be opened with Word (Microsoft) on Windows.
When doing the same on Linux (Ubuntu 18.04), nothing is happening (although I have LibreOffice installed as the operating system's default application for opening files with the extension .docx.
Is there a way to tell RStudio to start LibreOffice Writer for opening .docx files?
That was actually my first idea and I ensured that Libreoffice is the default application for *.docx files. Nonetheless, nothing is happening when I click onto these files. (Opening *.pdf files works very well.)
You're right. Didn't work for me either. I tried to find something in the source code, but my Java has rusted shut. My guess is that RStudio just won't do it, but I'll try to get confirmation.
I happen to be on a mac with a recent build. Are the two of you having the same issue on Ubuntu + LibreOffice setups?
If you are, we'd love to get an issue filed so folks can replicate the issue and start diagnosing it.
