Greg <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #10 from Greg <[email protected]> 2012-03-09 14:09:25 PST --- I too am experiencing this bug. And probably the related long read times of 2003 XML, hang and sometimes crash of XML 2003 spreadsheet. It never crashes on load of an EXCEL generated spreadsheet. It can save the Excel generated spreadsheet once. But exit OO or LO and then re-load OO or LO calc and try to read the oo written file: a) sometimes, hangs and crashes b) sometimes, does not. But when does not, can't write the file XML 2003. Get the long wait then file IO write error, as previously described. Can write the file as ODT, and other formats. Seems the 2003 XML file by some seems out-dated or obsolete. Why we need it: 1) it is simple to parse using XML tools. If a very 'flat' low maintenance spreadsheet format. So the data in the file is accessible easily be simple easy to write tools. 2) is the only format that meets the crieria a), and is common with MS EXCEL. 3) the new formats, are quite a bit more work to parse, write tools to read the data in the files. Is there any progress being made on this issue. It seems to have been a problem since after OO 2.2, I think I saw a report of these bugs as far back as 2008. And a long line of disgruntled attempts to use it, and of course the format will fall in disuse if it dont work. Please, is there a patched filter we can use? -- 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
