            Bug ID: 100502
           Summary: Customize the "Open File Dialog"
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.1.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

I've spent a few days to find out how to import a PDF into LibreOffice impress.
Every time I opened Impress and pressed File > Open and have chosen a PDF, the
PDF was opened with Draw instead of Impress. This is not a good user
experience. I was expecting it to open in Impress, too.

Nevertheless, I found out with the help of the people in the IRC, that I need
to specify the file type correctly "PDF ... (Impress)". The file types are
ordered in the wrong way. I just found "PDF ... (Writer)", but there was no
"PDF ... (Impress)" around it (I thought it was sorted by name, but it
wasn't!).

A separation of the file types from the actual application would be really
worth it, since the list of file types is really long. Other applications
customize therefore the native dialog by adding a second combobox or similar. I
found out that you already have a full customization ("Use libreoffice
dialogs"), but there it still isn't separated.
