--- Comment #3 from Regina Henschel <rb.henschel at t-online.de> ---
File name extension do not mean anything. Only that Windows allows to bind a
default application to it.

LibreOffice let you choose the import filter in the file open dialog. First
select the file then the filter.

Currently LibreOffice acts so, that if you open a file without selecting a
filter, it tries to open the file in the active module. If Writer is active a
.csv file opens in Writer, if Calc is active the same file would be opened in
Calc, for example.

So sometimes you need to choose the filter to force opening in a specific
module.

There exists only restricted choose in export filter. Saving from Impress as
graphic document is not possible and saving from Draw as presentation is
neither possible. Impress has an export "ODF Drawing (Impress)" which generates
a .odg file name extension, but the file is of
"application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.presentation" mimetype. Saving from Impress
with mimetype "application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.graphics" is not possible.

This report is duplicate to bug 100379.
