Bug ID: 99017
Summary: Cannot import non-csv file into Calc
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: pascal....@gmail.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/29.0
Build Identifier: LibreOffice 4.4.3.2
It seems not to be possibly to import a text file with an extension other that
.csv into Calc. Renaming it works of course, but this is an awkward work-around
if other applications rely on a different extension.
I tried: https://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Importing_and_Exporting_CSV_Files
but selecting "text CSV" as file type just makes the selected file disappear
and the "Ok" button being greyed out.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create text file with spread sheet data with extension other than csv
2. Start Calc and go to File->Open
3. Select the file.
4. If you click "open", it will open in Writer instead of calc
5. If you select "text CSV" as suggested, it is deselected and one cannot
proceed
Expected Results:
I'd expect either an option to force-open any file regardless of its name in
Calc, or a special "import text" option.
