Description: When opening file from inside LO (as opposed to opening from the OS file manager), either from the start center, or from File -> Open... menu, or the open file toolbar button, has a dialog with a dropdown menu labeled "Version:", and the current version is the default. However, changing the default to anything else doesn't seem to work, the opened file will always display the current version. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use one of the ways to open the attached ODT file, which has three different versions, from inside LO; 2. Choose "version 1" from the dropdown menu labeled with "Versions:"; Actual Results: The file opens as version 3, the current version. Expected Results: The file opens as version 1, as requested. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: I only tested this in Writer, and that's the component I'm reporting against. However it may exists for other modules as well.

I can't confirm it. I could open version 1 as well as version 2 Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 01837a85004a6f891a09c0a63ed7eff75d634827 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win; TinderBox: Win-x86_64@62-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2019-09-01_00:07:05 Locale: en-GB (de_DE); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded
I can confirm with OS open files dialog.

Ah yes, I indeed meant the Windows file chooser dialog when I said choose versions, not the LO native File -> Versions... dialog. My word choice of "from inside LO" was trying to emphasize that one needs to use LO to open the file so that the file chooser dialog appears, instead of double-clicking directly from the Windows file manager. In retrospect it was not a good choice, and probably caused more confusions than it was trying to clarify.
I do I show the version dialog? When I open the file in Versión: 6.3.1.2 (x86) Id. de compilación: b79626edf0065ac373bd1df5c28bd630b4424273 Subprocs. CPU: 1; SO: Windows 6.1; Repres.

Ok, the version can be chosen in the import dialog...

FWIW, when using LO's native file chooser instead of the OS one (check the Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General > "Use LibreOffice dialogs" checkbox to enable), specifying intended version works. This checkbox seems only available in 6.3 and higher though.
