------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue May 20 18:15:02 +0000 2008 ------- This may be related to this issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=84264 Steps: 1) Create a plain ASCII text file with LF line endings only. 2) Start OO Writer. 3) File -> Open 4) Choose the text file. Expected: File is opened in new Writer document; ASCII Filter Options dialog possibly displayed. Actual: File is opened in Calc; CSV import dialog is displayed. Workaround: Choose "Text Encoded" filter when opening. The default "All Files", as well as "Text" and "Text Documents" produce the unexpected behavior. Comments: - Opening files should take the currently running OO component into account when determining the preferred behavior, when more than one OO component may be appropriate for a given file type (e.g. when opening .txt files while currently using Writer vs. Calc). - The filter descriptions relevant to .txt files are ambiguous. Currently, when in Writer mode: * All Files (default) - Opens .txt, LF-endings in Calc. * Text Documents - Opens .txt, LF-endings in Calc. * Text (*.txt) - Opens LF-endings in Calc. * Text Encoded (*.txt) - Opens in Writer. A clearer behavior may be: * All Files - Opens .txt in current application (this is the default filter; it is reasonable to guess at what the user likely wants to do). * Text Documents - Opens in Writer, always. * Text (*.txt) - Opens in Writer, always. * Text Encoded Data (*.csv;*.txt) - Opens in Calc, always. - I have heard that a similar issue exists on Linux. I have not tested this. - OO's current logic when determining which application to open a .txt file in is somewhat flawed: "if CRLF then Writer else Calc". Line-endings should not be a criteria in determining whether to open a .txt document in Writer or Calc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
