--- Comment #40 from Peter <[email protected]> --- (In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #39) > Can not confirm. With Writer module as the active LibreOffice > component--e.g. with cursor focus--selecting the delimited file (.csv, .tsv, > etc.) File -> Open or File -> Recent uses the ODF Text filter and opens into > Writer. Always! I stand corrected. It looks I had an older version which exhibited that behavior, but checking again on 26.8.0.3, it behaves as you described. > > Otherwise, opening a delimited file, (os/DE file manager, LibreOffice > StartCente, or LO module *other* than Writer) will open into the Calc module. > > This is as designed. See comment 4 for still valid WRITER_DOCSERVICE or > CALC_DOCSERVICE handling in source. > > =-testing-= I reread comment 4, and it is clear that the behavior is when development decided to do. We agree that what happens when you open a CSV file is context dependent. Depending on what you have currently open, or rather what is the currently active context, you will get different behavior, which cannot be influenced through the UI. You just have to know, switch out of the writer if I want to load it as a calc document. What I don't understand is: why is the considered a good UI? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
