A tsv file extension file can not be forced to open in scalc.
This has been tried on OOO 1.1.2, 1.1.4 and also in the latest 1.9.x build of
openoffice.

I have created a flat file with the following data separated by tabs

test      test     test      test

named the file test.tsv and when u associate the tsv file extension with scalc,
it always openes up in writer.

Comparative behaviour in Microsoft office is once I associate the file with
excel, the file openes up in excel not in word.
The problem was noticed in Windows 2000, Windows XP ( SP1), WIndows XP (SP2) and
fedora core 3.

If i rename the file extension to csv the file opens up in scalc as it should.

The problem was noticed because Oracle Applications exports the files from its
interface with a .tsv file extension, and openoffice was being evaluated for
installation instead of Microsoft Office.

This happens even if I open scalc and the use file --> open to open the test.tsv
file, it opens up in writer.

There seems to be no way to force scalc to open this file.
Let me know if there are any additional details required.
