I'm sorry I don't agree. To my opinion generally the 'character' separated
value files should be opened with calc by default. Usually only Calc is able to
interpret these kind of files and to display them in a convenient way. This
should be done independently from where (Start Center, Writer, Calc, ...) these
files are opened. A different treatment only irritates the user like I was.
It may be possible that in some rare cases a user likes to open these kinds of
files with Writer. But then to my opinion a user should explicitly select this
option. I see two ways to do this. First it can be done by selecting text
documents ["Text documents (*.oth, *odt, ...)] in the Open dialogue or secondly
with a check box "Open with Writer" in the Text Import dialogue. But also in
these cases this should always be done independently from where these files are
opened.
Hence Status set back to NEW.
Best
