This issue should be re-opened and perhaps changed to Defect.  It is not a
duplicate of Issue 11802.

The problem here is that when you select the "Text CSV" import filter, it forces
the file display filter to show only *.csv and *.txt files.

Even though the "Text CSV" import filter is built to support tab delineated
files, this functionality is often not usable as such files are generally named
*.tab which the File->Open dialog will never route to the "Text CSV" import 
filter.

The quick fix is to:

1) Rename the "Text CSV" import filter to e.g. "Formatted Text" (Suggestions
welcome)
2) Associate *.tab with the newly renamed "Formatted Text" import filter.

However, the full fix is revamp the File->Open dialog box to decouple the rigid
extension->filter mapping that currently exist.

Perhaps someone can think about possable routes to take and submit a formal
enhancement request for this.
