 Hi to all,
 is it possible to convert files using the command line? As if it was a cli 
 tool?
 Ex: gnumeric --tocsv file.xls
 gnumeric would open the file.xls and save it as file.csv (without ever 
 showing a
 window.
 can this be done?
 if it can't be done yet, is it possible to include such a option in a future
 release/nightly tarball?

Use ssconvert, provided in the gnumeric package:
ssconvert -I Gnumeric_Excel:excel -T Gnumeric_stf:stf_csv file.xls
file.csv

This will export the first sheet.
