How much do we support it? It's not a strange file format; it's an Excel-generated HTML file, disguised as an xls file, by having an .xls extension. Well, sounds strange perhaps when you see it written, but I've seen a plenty of files like this it's not weird to me any more. Since the reporter says sometimes the file opens, I would suspect it's the file format detection code failing to detect the correct filter type, and perhaps we are parsing the file using the wrong import filter. Just a wild guess. Also, as I've observed in the past, our file format detection code involves a little bit of "random luck", where different candidate format types are tested, and the first one gets selected. The thing is, we store these format types in boost::unordered_map, and this container tends to order things differently depending on the version of boost used to build it. That might explain different behaviors in different distro versions of even the same version. But all of this is just a speculation. Someone needs to debug our format detection code and see what really takes place there. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
