<pre>Description:
Trying to open an IIF file in LibreOffice Calc. This is a column-based,
tab-separated file format used by financial software such as QuickBooks. When I
open the file in Calc, it just assumes that the file is text, and that I must
want it opened in Writer.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an IIF file in another application. (A sample file is attached to
this bug report.)
2. Open Calc.
3. Select File/Open in Calc, and choose the IIF file created in step 1.
Actual Results:
Writer starts, and opens the file as though it were a text file.
Expected Results:
The file should open in Calc, with the text input filter options dialog.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
Renaming the file to have a "csv" extension causes Calc to open the file
properly.
