------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed May 25 03:25:06 -0700 2005 ------- I decided to produce some sample files because I am not allowed/able to supply the files I work with. I learned a couple of things in the process... 1) If a file does not have an extension or does not have an extension OpenOffice recognizes, it exhibits the behaviour where it ignores you. With version 1.1.4, a dialog used to pop up, asking you to supply a Filter - from which you could select "Text CSV" if you specified a file with an unknown extension to the import dialogs. This is the part that does not happen anymore/which is broken. If your file has an extension of .txt or .csv, it seems to work fine. This basically seems to be regressed functionality - and I am not sure if this is a conscious decision. I preferred the previous functionality more. I guess more users than not would recon like me in my first impression, that this is broken... 2) In the second attached file, with NULL characters, you get the same behaviour from the new OpenOffice - it just ignores you... With version 1.1.4, it imported these funny characters and the appeared as little blocks in the appropriate cells. This of course gave you the opportunity to delete these rubbish characters. Again, this used to work in version 1.1.4. Most users would never be able to see NULL characters in something like Notepad or normal text editors, nor know that they exist... Because of this, they would not understand why OpenOffice ignores them when they want to open a file they used to be able to open with 1.1.4. Is this a regression or is it intended - and again - I like the old functionality on this better. ;) Once again, thanks for a lovely product!
