Priority: medium
Bug ID: 83372
CC: [email protected]
Assignee: [email protected]
Blocks: 81234, 83071
Summary: UI: RTF import does not show RTF version
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.5.2 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
There are various version of the RTF format. The version some document uses may
not be known to the user that tries to open it. I may also be unknown if
LibreOffice supports this version of the format, and there may be bugs in the
RTF import.
You may assume that some RTF file has been imported without problems as there
are no messages. This assumption may lead to a time consuming search for
problems at the wrong places. The real life problem on what bug 83204 was based
showed the error not so cleanly: Some formats worked and some did not. This
fact contributed to confusion with respect to the outline numbering mechanism.
Therefore the RTF import mechanism should report the version of the RTF format
it recognized and how well LibreOffice supports this format, e.g.
- no support (will not import files that use this version)
- partial support (together with information specifying what will probably not
work: wrong header information, images missing, maybe some subset of the
problems collected in bug 81234)
- full support (is expected to import all information contained in the file).
I think there are many cases when this information can reduce considerably the
effort to solve problems related to the RTF import. (Maybe it is a good idea
that other import filters provide the same kind of information)
Observed with LibreOffice version 4.2.5.2 and Windows 7.
