           Summary: FILEOPEN FILESAVE - Recognize .tsv extension for
                    tab-separated value files
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.4.2 release
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Spreadsheet
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: psychonaut at nothingisreal.com


It is not uncommon for people and programs to produce files which .tsv
extensions for tab-delimited text files.  When opening and saving, LibreOffice
Calc should recognize this extension as referring to what it calls "Text CSV"
files; currently it does not:

Steps to reproduce (saving):
1. Create a spreadsheet
2. File->Save As
3. Name: foo.tsv
4. Format->Text CSV
5. Edit filter settings: Checked
6. Field delimiter->Tab
7. OK

Observed behaviour:
8. The file was saved as foo.tsv.csv.

Expected behaviour:
8. The file should have been saved as foo.tsv.


Steps to reproduce (opening):
1. Assume there exists a tab-separated value file foo.tsv
2. In Calc, File->Open
3. Select the foo.tsv file
4. Open

Observed behaviour:
5. foo.tsv is opened as a text file in Writer.

Expected behaviour:
5. foo.tsv should have been opened as a spreadsheet in Calc.
