--- Comment #9 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> --- (In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #8) > Not sure I would call it a bug at this point, it just was unexpected for > generic CSV text.

I do *not* understand what is your understanding of its wording. What does "a file with *.csv would get the correct filter handling" mean specifically, compared to what happens now? A file filter is *either* selected manually in the File Open dialog, *or* detected after pressing OK - by the file contents, not by its extension (yes, the extension is considered, as a secondary hint, when it's not possible to reliably detect from content). The File Open dialog has a well-defined behavior of enabling/disabling and activating/deactivating the "Edit filter settings" based *solely* on the *selected filter*: many (most) filters don't have filter settings, so allowing the checkbox be enabled unconditionally would be misleading, even if you select a file named ".CSV" - it may actually be an XLS, and then no filter settings would appear. The only problem here is the wording in Help, that omitted the piece about "when the filter is selected". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
