Description tml 2007-02-16 11:01:42 UTC 
After using Tools:Package Manager to add an .oxt extension that adds support for
a new file type, immediately trying to open such a file fails, it is not
recognized, and the utterly confusing Filter Selection dialog pops up. OOo
should warn the user that a restart is needed. (Or alternatively, it should not
require a restart in the first place, but know how to handle this nicely and
dynamically.)
