As the filter list becomes longer it gets harder to find items. It would also be nice to mask out irrelevant entries via an i-tunes like 'filter' field.

I've not made up my mind yet but my tendency is to see the current behavior as close to useless. Only a few formats make some sense in this list at all and some structure is definitely needed. Otherwise it might be better to remove that dialog completely and just state "unknown format". As I wrote, we have to find that out.

Amazing that it wasn't fixed loooong ago considering the complexity of the fix vs the number of votes, duplicates, etc.. The next step for this listbox could be to use a sort key so that the most interesting choices get to the front and almost obsolete entries to the back of the list.

Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/81815/comments/28 ** Changed in: openoffice Status: Confirmed => Fix Released ** Changed in: openoffice Importance: Unknown => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/81815 Title: "filter selection" dialog is confusing Status in OpenOffice: Fix Released Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in openoffice.org package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in Baltix: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org Sometimes when I try to open a file, OpenOffice.org does not recognise the file type automatically. It displays a "Filter Selection" dialog box. The dialog box displays dozens of different file formats, apparently in no particular order. Just to give a sample of what is shown when I tried to open a PowerPoint file from a web site: OpenOffice.org 1.0 Text Document PSD - Adobe PhotoShop Web Page Query (OpenOffice.org Calc) StarWriter 4.0 OpenOffice.org 1.0 Spreadsheet Template OpenOffice.org 1.0 Spreadsheet OpenOffice.org 1.0 Master Document Lotus WordPro Document ... [approx. 93 (!) lines omitted] ... Text Ichitaro 8/9/10/11 Template CGM - Computer Graphics Metafile StarChart 5.0 Microsoft PowerPoint 97/2000/XP [finally!] ... At the very least, the entries should be in an alphabetic order. Ideally, most frequently used ones would be shown first. Oh, and even better, OpenOffice.org should have been able to guess the file type. After all, the web server provided "Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-powerpoint" and, furthermore, the last component of the URL was "xxx.ppt". (I had clicked a link in Konqueror. As far as I can see, in the default configuration Konqueror simply passes the URL to OO.org and lets OO.org to do downloading. Thus, OO.org should have a complete information on the file type.)
