How to view AOO dialogs (GUI) in Ubuntu Linux

[Amali Praveena Soban Kumar <sa...@yahoo.com.au>]

Hi dev,
Actually, I'm working on issue https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=64337. There are .src and .hrc Graphical User Interface files for dialogs in AOO. Though this issue doesn't require addition/removal of GUI controls in Customize dialog, when I try to open it in Ubuntu Linux 14.04, it says, "WAIS file type not supported." So I did a google search on these files; couldn't get much help; also read a pdf presentation of recent LO meeting; it talks about removing these obsolete/old file types and replacing with new versions?
Thanks,
Amali.

You should be able to directly open these from a text editor. At leas this
works for me.

If I just  click on them for an "automatic" open, I get the same error you
describe.
