Wow, neat workaround, thanks! However, I usually specify
file names on
the command line since locating and pasting the name is much
faster than
clicking and scrolling in the file open dialog.
I see a number of possible solutions. A command line option
to force the
Text Import wizard would do, for example.
Or, I find it very frustrating that oocalc passwd.do
silently opens
oowriter. The single office vision is ok in the File ->
Open dialog,
where one can specify the type, or when started as, e.g.,
ooo-wrapper.
But if I execute oocalc, I (and probably most other users)
expect oocalc
to be executed. So, as the first step, oocalc could, if
started as
oocalc with a file that is not obviously a spreadsheet,
bring the Text
Import wizard. That would help also the users who
double-click the file
in a file manager. After that is implemented, functionality
to override
the file type and open another office tool could be added
(but I
personally don't need it).
With kind regards,
