Hi, before I log this as a bug I would like to know whether anyone has
seen it before/potential fix identified.
I normally use Fedora linux and I download (.XLS) share tables from a
financial newspaper here in Oz. Yesterday I inadvertently clicked on
the wrong table by accident and tried to open it. Calc locked up! No
problem with the files I normally look at, Calc opened them fine.
So I tried again today and waited for an error - "LibreOffice 4.0.1.2
General input/output error". So I hopped over to the windows PC and
tried LO portable. Same error. The error was repeated whether I tried
to open directly from the website or if I saved to disk and then
attempted to open the file. MS Excel has no problems.
The file in question is accessible using this link:
http://www.afr.com/share_tables/
Just click on the xls link next to "Warrant Market"
Any comments?
Cheers
Tim:
Thexls files are XML files with an xls file extension. Amaya, a
xmleditor, bloats to nearly a 1 gig of memory, when this file is opened.
