------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri Feb 27 04:34:57 +0000 2009 ------- To replicate: 1. Download *.dtd file, such as <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd>. 2. Download *.ent file, such as <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-lat1.ent>. 3. Writer > File menu > Open > File type > All files (*.*). 4. Open both. What I get is Writer/Web showing each file as a line of text and some notes on the right side. Most text is not visible. 5. Close both files. 6. Writer > File menu > Open > File type > any type other than All files (*.*). What I get is nothing. Neither file shows up for any other file type at all, not even a text-like type. 7. gedit > File menu > Open > file type = All Files and Character Coding = Auto Detected. 8. Open both. What I get is both files opened more or less as text (plus color-coding). I can read probably all the text in the file. 9. Writer > File menu > Open > File type > All files (*.*). 10. Open both. 11. Save as Text Encoded, without overwriting original files. 12. Close and open both as Text Encoded. What I get is no content or almost no content. Almost everything is lost. 13. Writer > File menu > Open > File type > All files (*.*). 14. Open both of the original files. 15. Save as offered format (HTML), without overwriting original files. 16. When it asks whether to continue saving in that format or in ODF, choose either option. 17. Close and reopen both files as Text Encoded. What I get is each file with little or no text and some notes on the right side. Most text is not visible. What I expect in Writer is some kind of display of all the text contents, perhaps interpreted but still largely in view, and then to be able to save all of the text and see it all on reopening. The problem seems to be related to the extensions .dtd and .ent, both of which are specialized and uncommon. What's needed is an option in the File > Open dialog to accept arbitrary filename extensions as if plain text.
