Gnumeric is quite space efficient in general. It is possible, however, that you have found a case where we do really badly. (It is especially possible with xls files not generated by Excel.)
1. Our .gnumeric format is much denser than .xls 2. Gnumeric will agressively share common expressions in a sheet. Would it be possible to generate a similar file but with no personal info in it? (Replacing all numbers by 42 and all strings by "xyz" usually does the trick.) > ** (gnumeric:12346): CRITICAL **: ms_biff_query_next: assertion > 'q->length < 20000' failed There is a positively *huge* record in that xls file, or else Gnumeric has gotten confused while parsing the file. If you compile gnumeric yourself, you can try taking out the check in plugins/excel/ms-biff.c Morten _______________________________________________ gnumeric-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list
