can you please try and save it with extension ".ods" and check if it is directly opening in the Calc application

Which I assumed would cause that exported report file to open in some OpenDocumentSpreadsheet application, in my case: LibreOffice Calc. But it doesn't do that. I double-click the file to open it in the default application and it opens in LibreOffice Writer. Opening the exported report in a text editor I see that it's really an HTML file. And that, in fact, I can specify any windows extension I want when exporting the report from Gnucash, and it will always write out a file that contains HTML. I think Windows is seeing ".ods" as something to open in LibreOffice, which starts reading the file and detects that it's HTML and then without any asking, renders the HTML in the exported report as a LibreOffice Writer document. However, if I export a report and specify a file extension of ".xlsx" and then double click that to open it, then LibreOffice Calc starts up and offers to convert the HTML that's in that file to an actual spreadsheet which I can then save as a ".ods" file that opens in LibreOffice Calc. I find myself in circles trying to find the straight path from Gnucash exported reports to LibreOffice Calc and can't seem to untangle the Windows/Gnucash/LibreOffice interactions to get this to happen. Any Windows + LibreOffice users out that that get this working? :George _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
