--- Comment #5 from Carlos <[email protected]> ---
Thank you Frederic for reporting the bug. I can confirm that the bug (or
undesired behavior) is present in
Version: 5.3.1.2 (x64)
Build ID: e80a0e0fd1875e1696614d24c32df0f95f03deb2
CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Windows 6.19; UI Render: default; Layout Engine:
new;
Locale: en-US (en_US); Calc: group
I am aware that some websites rely in this MS Excel behavior. They generate
html files (an html table or MS Excel 2003 XML format) with the .xls extension
and rely in Excel's ability to open the file correctly, that is, as a
spreadsheet.
I think we should define the desired behavior of LO more clearly:
* caution before opening the file (if the file format of the file differs
from the specified by the extension of the file: e.g. an html file with .xls or
.xlsx, or perhaps .ods extension)
* open the Text Import dialogue. To let the user choose some import options
(we need more options here, like letting the user choose the decimal separator
and the thousands separator of the source. It is crucial for people that live
in countries using the coma as the decimal separator.) Or maybe, an html Import
dialogue.
* importing the content correctly
* caution when saving the file (if the original file will get overwritten).
Mainly because of the internal file format, not the extension.
