Description Andras Timar 2012-05-10 03:49:14 UTC
Open LibreOffice and select File - Open... menu. The File selector dialog appears. Here the user can select file type categories, like "All files", "Text documents", etc.

The problem is that not all text documents known by LibreOffice filters are classied as such, so for example when the user selects Text documents, the dialog will not show .docx files.

In http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI.xcu#39 you can see the list of filters that are taken into account now, some of them are obsolete (WW4), some are missing. The filter names are from filter\source\config\fragments\filters\. You can find out the associated extensions from filter\source\config\fragments\types\.

Task: update officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI.xcu with current filter information for all file type categories.

Hi Alberto,

I notice you're not yet listed on

 http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Developers

, did you state the license your work is under already? If not, the
easiest way is to send a mail to libreoffice@lists.freedesktop.org saying something along the lines of

 "My previous and all future contributions to LibreOffice, unless
stated otherwise, are licensed under LGPLv3+/MPL"

Thanks a lot,
Andras

Hi Alberto,

Thanks for working on this!

Anyway, you have removed the following filters:
> MS Winword 6.0
> MS Word 95
> MS Word 95 Vorlage
> MS Excel 4.0
> MS Excel 4.0 Vorlage/Template
> MS Excel 5.0/95
> MS Excel 95
> MS Excel 95 Vorlage/Template
> StarOffice XML (Impress)

These filters still listed in filter/source/config/fragments/filters/. Is this intended?

Only the file extension counts here, it is not necessary to list all filters, that open *.doc, for example.

We need exact and correct target information for automated lists in Wiki and LibO Web Site.
