I don't know if there can be more than one. Normal UI design uses a filter with all eligible extensions for opening a file, with a specific extension for saving a file. The latter can either be through separate filters, or a filter with multiple extensions selected via a dropdown on the file dialog. > This filter uses 'Text' type, which is also used by Writer.

I think a possible course of action is to > define a separate type for it, say 'Delimited Text'. Such a separate filter is what I think makes the most sense. It's really what "Text CSV" already is, save without the file extension limitation. That filter is currently the only way to save a delimited text file of any kind. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
