Hi. I have installed LibreOffice on Windows 7 and windows 10. It is the only office suite that I have installed. when i work with csv format, the file browser show as file type: OpenOffice.org 1.1 Spreadsheet.

All other file type show open Document (ods, odt, etc)
The csv document is opened with calc when i selected (double click on file)
Libreoffice was installed on a clean windows instalation.

I can confirm on win10 - libreoffice is only office suite installed.

I have no idea where is that string coming from — I couldn’t find it in Pootle nor in OpenGrok. Well, at least we know it’s not a mistake in the Spanish translation.

(Trying to submit this comment again after Bugzilla downtime…)

OK, I’ve found the string: http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/scp2/source/calc/registryitem_calc.ulf#23

… So the bug (apparently) is, comma-separated value (.csv) files are being misdetected as old .sxw spreadsheets…

It gets written into the Windows registry on installation, .CSV has had an OpenOffice assigned OpenWithProgIDs registry entry since 2005.

When Jesús reworked names to allow LibreOffice to be installed alongside OpenOffice--we probably should have added an association for .CSV with LibreOffice Calc.  I think the legacy association that *we* alone maintain in the package could be dropped in favor of a Calc OpenWithProgramIDs association.

Looks like we probably should break the linkage to soffice.StarCalcDocument.6 -- {7B342DC$-139A-4A46-8A93-DB0827CCEE9C}-- and instead associate with Calc (LibreOffice.CalcDocument.1 with the {7BC0E713-5703-45BE-A29D-5D46D8B39262} persistent handler, but may need a friendly name.

Might be useful to include the .csv in the http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/shell/source/win32/shlxthandler/util/fileextensions.cxx

@Jesús, do you have any time for this?
