Is it necessary to list the file format extensions twice in the drop down list
of file formats when in the Save As dialog box?
e.g. ODT Text Document (.odt) (*.odt)
is it really necessary to list "odt" twice (or even thrice!)?
Thank you!

Hi Daniel, hi Jared,
I'm having a LibreOffice 3.3.1 on Ubuntu with Gnome specific file
dialogs - it only states "ODT Text Document (.odt)".
Do you use Windows? If yes, then it might relate to how the entries of
this drop-down are created by the operating system: the first
As far as I know the entries in the file dialog is created via strings like:
static const char *files = "ODT Text Document|*.odt|All files|*.*||";
Windows itself does not automatically add the (.odt) at the end afaik.

Hi All,
I do not show duplicate extensions on Win XP LibO 3.3.1. I cleaned
the registry before install.
Andy might be on to something with left overs from OOo or a earlier
ver. LibO. Windows uninstallers
are notorious for leaving dead links in the registry.
Personally, I think you could do away
Yes, I believe this is a Windows issue only. I was running Win7 with 3.3.1
when I saw the (*.*) text.
On my OpenSUSE-gnome 11.4 with 3.3.1 only (.odt) shows, no asterisk.
Thanks!

Like others, it doesn't
