------- Additional comments from opticyc...@openoffice.org Sat Sep 25 16:39:03 +0000 2010 ------- 7 years and this still hasn't been fixed! Same thing happens in Open Office 3.2 If I open Calc then try to open a file, I want it to open in Calc. If I wanted to open the file in Writer, I would have opened Writer! The fact that you can work around it by selecting Text CSV is meaningless as well because that option is entrenched in an overly huge list of other options (44th out of 113 options!!!). Before you get to that you have Text documents, Spreadsheets, Text, Text Encoded and other potential options so people assume it doesn't work. OOo advertises with things like "interoperability with Microsoft Office for free" etc etc If that is the case, why are there decisions like these to operate completely differently to Microsoft Office? If you search the forums there are hundreds of posts asking questions that this bug addresses and feel as though it is 'broken'. As often is the case with these types of issues, some people want it one way and some want it in a seemingly opposing way. The solution that will appease everyone is to make it an option in the settings. Then the people that like the original way can carry on without any affect to them and the people that like it the way as certain other office suites can be happy by switching on the option. I would suggest that you either have an option in the settings or you have a radio button on the open dialog that gave the choice - Automatically choose application based on file type - Try to open file in this application. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
