I have a .odt file I like to edit, save, and then Save As a plaintext .txt After I went to v3.6x that wasn't an option in Save As. I just reverted to v3.5.5 and it's back alive. What happened?
At least it is [Reproducible] with Server Installation of "LibreOffice 3.6.0.2 rc German UI/Locale [Build-ID: 815c576] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) that there is not selection "text .txt" in LibO dialog 'File -> Save as' dialog. Same in WIN OS dialog. Worked with 3.5.5, so REGRESSION At least I use LibO frequently as text editor, but this is chicken-feed, you can use "Save as Text .txt (Encoded), and modify the name extension in the file name pane. But indeed. I think it would be less worrying if LibO WRITER would offer name extension .txt, what is more useful here than .csv (what can be offered as an option). Reporter's description is very vague, so I hijack this one for the problem I observed. @henerey@comcast.net "lost ability" is a rather esoteric description ;-) Please feel free to submit a new bug (with a more precise description of the problem due to <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport>

For me where is the problem is that LO adds csv extension even if I give the txt extension to my filename. So I get a filename like a.txt.csv and if I try to reopen this file by double-clicking on its name in Nautilus it is opened by Calc instead of my default text editor (gedit). Best regards. JBF
I think it's a bug by definition to offer FILESAVE as .csv from Writer Worked fine until Server installation (own profile) of "LibreOffice 3.5.6.2 German UI/Locale [Build-ID: e0fbe70-5879838-a0745b0-0cd1158-638b327] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit), so 3.6 regression I think it's simply wrong to offer "save as .csv" for a writer text document from Writer. Already broken with - Server installation of Master "LOdev 3.6.0alpha0+ – WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) ENGLISH UI [Build ID: a502549]" (tinderbox: Win-x86@6-fast, pull time 2012-05-31 07:33:55) Still worked fine - MinGW build 2012-08-26 what already has new style LibO File Dialog, tho this problem seems not related to new dialog. - with Server installation of Master "LOdev 3.6.0alpha0+ – WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) ENGLISH UI [Build ID: 475d0c5-829fc92-39746e8-206648e-fefd87]" (2012-02-14) @Jean-Baptiste Faure If "Auto Name extension" is activated that xxx.txt.csv might be more or less expected @Michael: I currently see this one as a WRITER problem. Please set Status to ASSIGNED and add yourself to "Assigned To" if you accept this Bug or forward the Bug if it's not your turf.
Kohei, could this "Writer wants to save text file as .csv" be a result of your filter configuration/detection refactoring?
I'll take a look.
So, the code basically sees *.csv;*.txt for the text format type, then automatically takes the first item (*.csv), and ignores the rest. This is the reason why you only see .csv in the save-as dialog.

Fixed on master (for 3.7.0). Sent a backport request to the mailing list for 3.6.2 (and 3.6.1 if people agree with my fix being safe).
