I was asked to propose a spec for File | Open, more specifically, for how it handles file types.
The first draft is at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/File_Chooser_Type_Handling_Specific ation Some of the changes from OOo's current behavior: - The default file type depends on the current application. For example, from Writer, File | Open by default displays only Text documents. The other types, including "All Files (*.*) can still be chosen from the File Type drop down list. Ref: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=67163 - If an type group such as "Spreadsheets" is chosen, OOo will either open the file in Calc or will fail. It will not for example open a file as a Text document when Spreadsheets is selected. Ref: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=74277 - When attempting to open files in an unsupported format, such as PDF, OOo will not try to open them as Text documents. Ref: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=74295 Please post comments here or at the Wiki talk page.
