No, and I don't think that there will be. We have a smart "auto-detect" feature. The Windows File->Open dialog should default to "Auto-Detect" and not "AbiWord (.abw)". I'll look into this, but we won't have a default open type, becuase it really doesn't make much sense. > Now that I've confessed my transgression in experimentation, I can see > why > you would discourage this type of behavior.
