I have an application which generates tab delimited files with a .tsv extension.
Whenever I try to open such a file (even from calc) it opens in writer, but I
want it to open in calc.

I can't force OOo to open the file in calc, so I currently use a workaround
which requires me to perform 2 steps which I would like to skip:
- rename the file from .tsv to .csv
- select tab as the delimiter when opening the file (default is comma - as it
should be for .csv files)

My request for enhancement is that I want to be able to double click on the .tsv
file and have it open in calc with tab set as the default delimiter so that I
just have to click ok. 

Although others have reported the same problem (many on the forum) I could not
find another open issue for this request, neither was I able to re-open the
closed issue (which was entered as a defect rather than an RFE). I also believe
this RFE should apply to all versions of OOo.
