The additional dialog exists already but it isn't used as OOo in fact knows the
type of the file - it's a text file! At the end, every tab delimited file is
one. For heavy Calc users it's unfortunate that text files by default go to
Writer.
But even if we showed a dialog for each text file to be opened - nobody would
really like that. Dialogs on opening files can be a PITA.
In OOo 2.2 we already support that every xls file will be loaded in Calc, even
if it isn't an Excel but a tab delimited file. This should bring Calc on par
with Excel in this regard.
You can also register "scalc.exe" for any extension of your tab files in your
system so that doubleclicking them on the desktop will open them in Calc.
The only thing that now is different to Excel is that opening tab delimited
files with the file dialog will need a manual filter selection in Calc if the
file does not have the extension csv or xls.
So while there is something left we made a big step forward. I don't like the
idea of an extension table as filter configuration data is treated "read only"
for a reason.
