Priority: medium
Bug ID: 62348
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: FILEOPEN: Read error. An unknown error has occurred.
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 3.6.5.2 release
Component: Spreadsheet
Product: LibreOffice
An ods file is being used in "multi-writer" mode. (Its "Share this spreadsheet
with other users" attribute is set True.)
All (7) workstations sharing the file are currently on LO v3.6.5.2. Over the
lifetime of the problem some have been on earlier versions (e.g. 3.4 etc).
>From time to time (not every time) over the past few months, on opening, the
above error message (see Subject) is displayed. No additional information is
available.
The remedy has been to restore a working copy from a snapshot or backup. This
has usually resulted in loss of data.
As a variation, I recently tried presenting the same file to MS Excel (2007 SP3
build 12.0.6665.5003). There it is handled differently. The first message is
"Excel found unreadable content in 'xxxx.ods'. Do you want to recover the
contents of this workbook? If you trust the source of this workbook, click
Yes."
On clicking Yes, the broken file is opened and the contents displayed. The
message is "Excel was able to open the file by repairing or removing the
unreadable content". Another pop-up links to an xml file that purports to offer
further detail regarding the repair, but no real info is contained.
A sample (broken) ods file is available if that is likely to be of help -
subject to owner's agreement.
Operating System: Windows XP
Version: 3.6.5.2 release
