Hello!
LO has removed all files with the 4.0 up to and including StarOffice 5.2
support.
LO 4.0 with the old files can no longer work.
What is the plan in AOO? Will there be support for this in the future too?
no, we plan to drop these old formats as well. This was planned since a
long time for OpenOffice and even long before go-oo was renamed in LO.
The reason is a technical one, the filter code have to be maintained in
a special library and it is always a lot of work, especially when you
want to do some core changes.
The usage of the old formats is rather seldom and you can use any
OpenOffice version < 4.0 to convert any of these files in a newer format
which is recommended anyway.
Do they at least have an extension to old files to read at least?
There are certainly many problems with archived or left behind files,
which can then no longer be read ..
Too bad there was a reason to return.
