Seems it was not disabled for me. Or I did something else which I cannot 
remember :)

Thanks.

Currently preparing the 2.6.1 update as merge request, with some additional 
patches that enable the import filters for more formats, like docx, pptx, 
xslx, ...

(because other than promoted on plasma-active.org Calligra Active so far 
refused to load docx and xlsx, due to hardcoded mimetype checks. oh promoters, 
please check what you claim!)

waiting for the build to finish, then will test on the device. Expect a merge 
request tonight or later this WE :)

Cheers
Friedrich
