Re: [libreoffice-users] Open XLS directly into LibreOffice 4.1 vs double clicking on it in Windows

Unfortunately not, and since I'm not in the IT department I usually 
don't get the call on those things.  It's more of a minor annoyance than 
a bug (as long as I use Window Explorer file association it's fine), I 
just wanted to see if this happened to other people.  Also the file is 
actually being generated by a component, dhtmlxgrid 
(https://docs.dhtmlx.com/grid__index.html, again prior version) so the 
XLS file may not be completely clean.
