--- Comment #2 from PN <[email protected]> --- Yes it is, and sorry for re-filing this. I forgot about the old one and it did not show up as hit when I submitted this new one... However, I still find this behaviour disfunctional, because: 1) it forces a certain behaviour upon the user which clearly is not intended (why would I open a word processor file in a spreadsheet application?). 2) the behaviour is inconsistent. If I rename the same file to .csv, it nevertheless opens in calc, ignoring the auto-file-type-detection. 3) opening a tab-delimited text file with a non-UTF8-encoding (because it was copied from another OS or just is old) is not such a rare thing really... In fact, I would argue that this happens more often than to open a very old Word Perfect file that does not end in .wpd. 4) Finally, LibreOffice is an unique application, at least on Linux, with no serious alternative. I find it problematic to impose such an "auto"-behaviour upon the user, essentially making it impossible from him to decide what is "right". In summary, it would really be great to be able to turn this auto-application-choosing off, either globally, or on a case by case basis. Let the user decide what is right... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
