--- Comment #4 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalr...@gmx.com> ---
(In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #2)
As I'm not a developer, I can't speak to how much work this actually entails,
but - there is justification for module-specific behavior of the file picker
even regardless of this bug (although maybe I should open a separate issue
about that). At any rate - how hard can it be to make the file picker wrapper
code accept an optional mapping of file types to default open filters?

On the contrary - it is arguably the main case for opening PDFs, since:
* One rarely opens PDFs from the "non-specific module" (what you get when you
start LO with no switches and no documents)
* When opening a PDF using the DE, there is typically(/always) just a single LO
option, which is opening in Draw.
> file manager to select the document type/filter seems sufficient.
It's insufficient, so much as that even relatively experienced users fail to
realize this is at all possible. And with the desktop environment it's not made
possible (at least - with many desktop environments; maybe with all of them).
