Is this a bug, i.e. when you add a pre-defined file type of application/vnd.ms-excel, the file extension is .xl … I have never seen .xl, but don’t use Excel a lot. Shouldn’t it be .xls? If so, I’ll file a bug report, just didn’t want to file for something that is correct.
I assume it is to account for .xlsx / .xlsm / . xlxb / .xlt / .xltm et al extensions
Shouldn’t all of those be put in then? As it stands now when you use the type in a Open or Save As dialog, the extension defaults to .xl.
You can edit them
The shortcuts just add an entry
I did edit it, I was just wondering if the default was wrong or if it was something I didn’t understand and is actually by design and how my application should act.
Here are some extensions for Microsoft Excel and their meanings:
