            Bug ID: 128311
           Summary: LibreOffice opens cwk drawings with LOO Write, allows
                    save to odt, but not odg.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: erwinm at alumni.beloit.edu

Description:
1. Appleworks/Clarisworks used the same extension .cwk for all file types:
writing, drawing, painting, spreadsheet, database.

2. LibreOffice opens these as Writer files, usually a safe bet.

3. LibreOffice doesn't allow users to open these as Draw files. Or once opened
in Writer, to save them as Draw files.

4. Manually changing the file extension doesn't work either.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Take an Appleworks drawing.
2. Open with LibreOffice.
3. Try to save as odg instead of odt.
4. Save as odt, quit.
5. Manually change extension.
6. Open with LibreOffice again.
7. Try to save as odg.

Actual Results:
3. find that odg is not available.
7. still not available.

Expected Results:
3. an option t save as .odg
7. or at least to open as .odg after manually changing the extension


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
3. some other save as options should be available, for when LibreOffice
misreads file types. And possibly for other uses.
