--- Comment #8 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote@utsa.edu> ---
(In reply to Yousuf Philips (jay) from comment #7)
As .csv files arent displayed when "Text document" is selected, not sure how
it can be opened in writer in that manner.
But back to the point, i would have .csv file exclusively open in calc, as
users who want to edit it otherwise would open it in gedit rather than
writer.
Believe that's the point of OP, it can't. Internally if the Writer module is
running the WRITER_DOCSERVICE takes precedence over the file extension in
selecting the text filter to open the comma separated value .CSV file (a.k.a
"character" separated value).
With WRITER_DOCSERVICE set (because the call to open comes from a Writer
session) the document is not passed to the Text import filter for opening into
Calc.
Meaning--if you want to open it in Writer, launch Writer and open it
there--regardless of handling for the file extension. Otherwise the file
extension will trigger the text import filter from any other launch scenario.
And why I don't see much need to change anything.
