Bug ID: 129624
Summary: When recovering TAB-sep chart file, tabs are replaced
by commas
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Mac OS X (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I programmatically write new lines into a TAB-separated file. I the open the
file using libreoffice calc. Sometimes when I try to close the file, it
crashes, and offers to recover. If I accept that offer, very often (always??)
the file is recovered as a COMMA-separated file. Some of my fields can
occasionally contain commas, which is why I chose tabs.
How to reproduce: Build a tab-sep file with several columns of several rows of
numeric data (the comma-containing fields aren't part of problem). Cause a
crash.
Allow file recovery
To cause the crash, as I've seen it:
Choose insert chart
choose X/Y scatter
cancel the insertion of the chart, maybe by simply closing the window
About 5% to 10% of the time (WAG) the save will fail and LibreOffice will
crash, while offering to recover my file.
I have seen this with three columns: two columns holding data in the
10,000-100,000 range and one holding data around 210 to 280; and as few as a
dozen rows.
What I expect: The file will be recovered in CSV format with the sep character
I used when creating it.
How you might do that: Ask what sep character(s) should be used. Or use an
rcfile of some kind to specify the default sep character. Or stash the sep
character(s) somewhere that an be recovered.
