            Bug ID: 89935
           Summary: FILESAVE "save as" always saves as .fods not as .ods
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

When one opens a .ods spreadsheet and then does File menu "Save as" into
another directory, one gets a .fods (flat ODS) file regardless of Options
(Tools menu, Options, Load/Save, General, Default File Format and ODF settings,
set to "Always save as" = "ODF Spreadsheet" (ie NOT to "Flat XML ODF
Spreadsheet") 

This confuses the heck out of non-technical users because the default action
when one double-clicks a .fods file on one's desktop (Fedora 21, Cinnamon ) is
to open it with Gedit, or Google Chrome if installed, not with Libreoffice!
It's also undesirable because these files are larger, and of course because it
is ignoring the user's defined Options choice.

It's possible to change the pull-down list in the "Save as" window from "All
Formats" to "ODF Spreadsheet (.ods)", but surely this should not be necessary
when the existing file type is .ods and the requested default in Options is
also .ods? 


Versions:
Fedora 21, Cinnamon desktop (also happens with XFCE), LibreOffice
4.3.6.2-3.fc21. I have also tried uninstalling the Fedora packages and
installing  LibreOffice 4.4.1.2 downloaded from Libreofice.org, which then
misbehaves the same way.
