LO evolved over time and there are four file-formates for this reason + the old OO file-formates not longer present in recent LO. Once accepted would we have to integrate all the legacy file-formates in the save dialog. The only two reasonable solutions for me would be: A - Fall back to the old fashion and reintroduce a version drop-down menu so we would have two drop-down menus, one for type and one for version - this would scatter the now basic save dialog again + this would allow to us to take all ms office versions out of the first dialog, effectively simplify it or B - Replace the whole Default File Format settings (if this doesn't have other impacts) under Settings>Load\Save with a simple checkbox meaning Show exotic file formats + unchecked, would this approach take most of the file-formates out the Save menu + shown file formates by default could be related to local settings e.g. Unified Office Format shown by default in China but not shown by default on other locals - lot of work for the developers - hiding LO capabilities to users not aware of this setting</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
