          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 80016
          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: Import text files with non-".csv" extention
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 4.2.3.3 release
         Component: Spreadsheet
           Product: LibreOffice

As far as I can see, it is impossible to import spread sheets from a text file
if the file has not a ".csv" extention.

I consider this a bug because plain text is not a format specific to
LibreOffice. Enforcing a certain file name conflicts with other application
which either create or use such files. 

For example, I have many hundereds of files with ".PRN" extention, (which I did
not choose and which I need to keep to work with other software), and the only
way I found to open them in Calc is to create a copy with ".csv" extention.

What I wish is to be able to select *any* file, irrespective of its name and
extention, and to have the text import dialog shown.
