--- Comment #1 from Roman Eisele <b...@eikota.de> 2012-08-19 10:16:04 UTC --- Created attachment 65764 --> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=65764 A simple RTFD sample file (compressed as ZIP archive to allow me to attach it) REPRODUCIBLE with LibreOffice 3.6.1.1 (Build ID: 4db6344), German langpack installed, on MacOS X 10.6.8 (Intel). When you try to open a .rtfd file, LibreOffice shows in in the file selection dialog (suggesting that it is able to open that file!), but if you click "OK" nothing happens. IMHO we would need an enhancement request for the ability to open .rtfd files (there is no guarantee that LibO can open them, so it is not a bug that it can’t do so ;-); but it is a *bug* that LibreOffice just fails silently on any attempt to open them -- therefore I leave this as bug report. To find out more about .rtfd files, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFD A .rtfd file ("Rich Text Format Directory") is not a simple file, but a "bundle", i.e. a special kind of directory, which contains both the main RTF data (in a file called "TXT.rtf") and all images, just as image files. Insofar .rtfd files are similar to .odt files, just that they are not compressed and are based on RTF, not on XML. Matt Rosin is right that .rtfd files are common on MacOS X, and therefore it would be nice if LibreOffice could handle them. I see three possible stages of .rtfd support: a) Give a meaninful error message on attempts to open .rtfd files, instead of failing silently. This is a really important bug fix. b) First enhacement level: On attempts to open .rtfd files, just open the "TXT.rtf" file inside of them, to recover at least the text and formatting. This should be rather easy to implement. c) Second enhancement level: Open the "TXT.rtf" file inside of the .rtfd file AND insert all images from the .rtfd file directly into the resulting document (embedding images instead of linking them). -- 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 Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
