Bug ID: 93104
Summary: [ODF] Add "binary" file types bodt, bods,bodp, etc..
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.4.4.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
It seems that Excel has a special file format that allows to save the data into
a special "binary" format that allows a very fast opening/saving of the data.
This is particularly useful when the spreadsheet is very large, mostly with
data. I once stumbled into such beast with a xls of 200MB that was unusable
when converted to ODF.
So why not implement a "binary" ODF file format, where basically we store the
document in a format that reduce the overhead of a XML parsing?
Like "Flat ODF", where data is unzipped and with just one file, the "binary"
ODF:
* does not need to be compliant with any other standard,
* does not need to care about interoperability,
* will load and save much faster,
* "use at your own risk".
Filetypes can be bods, bodt, bodp, bodf, bodb, bodc as suggestion.
