Don't remember all the details, but what comes to my mind now is that some type
detectors do preparation work which otherwise not done by the filter. See how
Bug 90225 is implemented, for example. Another affected case might be clicking
on an encrypted docx file, then cancelling the password prompt. The type
detection code has a way to handle this situation (see Bug 80999), but I
believe the filter will just throw a "general error" message. At least we need
to identify all those corner cases, and fix them.

(It might also happen that the underlying format of a file was changed, or that
we changed the filter name during the course of development (e.g. when
switching to external libs like liborcus or librevenge), but those scenarios
are not common.)

Is this actually possible from UI? I can't find a way to do this, at least
under Linux.
