Yeah... isn't that curious? Gnucash writes out HTML regardless of any windows filename

So doesn’t it make sense for Gnucash to use whatever extension is provided by
the user, and .html if none?
IF the file is given the file extension .xlsx and IF your computer has
LibreOffice Calc to use as the application for objects of that type,
then clicking on that object will cause LibreOffice Calc to attempt to
open it << IF the data in that file is something that LibreOffice Calc

Understand? Just putting that extension on the file does NOT in and by
itself make the data formatted that way.
The conversion offered by LibreOffice Calc depends on the actual data
format being one that LibreOffice Calc knows how to convert.
