--- Comment #11 from Maxim Monastirsky <[email protected]> --- Formats that can be opened by more than one app, such as html rtf and plain text (which is what a csv file is, as there is no way to "detect" csv files by content) are opened in the currently active app. That's an intentional change made in LO, as noted by Kohei at https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2014-July/062540.html To me it is understandable and consistent behavior, as if you open a .csv file from inside gedit, you don't expect it to open in Calc, because that's a separate app. So the same should apply to Writer (which isn't exactly a separate app technically, but it is for the end user). That's a way to open the file in Writer for someone who need it, instead of telling him to scroll a long list of formats. And open Calc to be able to open the file from there is just one click away. I however do understand why some people prefer that a plain text files with a .csv extension would always open in Calc. But instead of fighting endlessly on what the default behavior should be, I suggest to make this configurable, so hopefully everyone will be happy. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-ux-advise mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise
