[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 151030] When Calc document is open, Open Recent tries to import txt files rather than open

Having import behave based on active LO module is very efficient filtering. Rename/reformat the text file to ODF compliant, or when needing to open text shift to WRiter (use an existing session or just open wtih File -> New). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

You are working in Calc, a text document is not ODF and will receive the module specific handling which with Calc is to take it through the 'Text import...' filter dialog. If you need a Text document (from a Writer session) to stay a text document and be opened by Writer--shift your active LO module to Writer. Or, save the text document to ODF, i.e. .odt -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
