--- Comment #4 from Matt Rosin <[email protected]> 2012-08-20 04:31:26 UTC --- Thank you very much for your attention to this bug. I would like to add some notes. i find it very interesting if true, that Windows still is unable to open rtfd! This is a significant opportunity for LibreOffice. 1) Other embedded file types You can also embed a PDF or other file like a mail attachment in an rtfd on the Mac. For example you can drag a PDF from the finder into the TextEdit window. When saved, zipped (via Finder context menu) and then unzipped (with unzip from Terminal unix shell) I found the PDF file to be there next to the rtf file. A post from 2005: http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=429565 2) Formatting The graphic in your test rtfd file is very wide so it may not be obvious, but embedded images can be paragraph formatted (centered/right justified) too in TextEdit and Bean. Bean allows formatting and also allows you to doubleclick and resize an image inline (a resizing widget pops up at the cursor position). I note this because (I have not confirmed it but) I have read that while you can open the text.rtf file in WordPad or Word in Windows it does not preserve formatting. A 2008 post: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1501548?start=0&tstart=0 3) Opportunity for LibreOffice. The above linked wikipedia article and other posts I have found from early 2000s says Windows cannot handle bundles, hence rtfd is not supported, so the choice is to save as a PDF or zip it and wade through the zipped folder while losing formatting and positional information. It would be eminently useful to Windows users if a Mac user could send them an rtfd (or a zipped rtfd) by email and have LibreOffice open it one Windows and offer to save as .odf or .doc. This would make LibreOffice the answer to the question of how to open rtfd on Windows. 4) Attachment. FWIW I have attached a zip of an rtfd file created in Bean and zipped from the Mac OS X Finder (via the context menu which is the standard way of doing things). Unlike zipping from the unix shell, this creates a zip file that includes Mac specific resources which may be confusing but LibreOffice would have to deal with (ignore) those folders. -- 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
