In some cases there may be the necessity to edit a csv document with Writer. But it is not possible to open a csv file with writer. Steps in order to reproduce the bug: (1) Start LO. (2) File > Open… (3) Select filter “Text documents (*.oth; ...)”. csv files are not displayed. Hence csv files can't be opened now as text documents. Expected: Also csv files should be displayed. Currently there is a workaround. You have to create a new text document. Then the csv file is opened as text document. But to my opinion this is not correct. See also bug 89683. Hint: This Bug has already been described in Bug 89312 together with other problems. ** Please read this message in its entirety before responding ** To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (5.0.5 or 5.1.2 https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System Please DO NOT - Update the version field - Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) - Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo"; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa Thank you for your help! -- The LibreOffice QA Team This NEW Message was generated on: 2016-04-16 Bug checked with version 5.2.0. Bug still exists. Bug checked with version 3.3.0. Bug already exists. Hence inherited from OOo. When the WRITER_DOCSERVICE is active, i.e. Writer module is open and has focus, a comma (or other character) delimited text file will open into Writer. Otherwise, the Text Import filter dialog will open for import into Calc by default or if the Calc module is open making the document service CALC_DOCSERVICE. This is consistent and expected. Hi Stuart, Sorry I don't agree. See rationale in bug 89683, comment 5. Best |
