Hello All:
Is there a trick to working with large files in calc? The same
spreadsheet opens and saves in a few seconds with excel and gnumeric.
Apparently not. I've had similar problems (see
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1905 ), and they don't
seem to care much.
I guess our usage doesn't fit the profile of the
users that they care about...
Not true. There are a few solutions which are being discussed and tested, but
it is not a trivial problem. The solution would also help ALL users open
their docs quicker not just large docs.
After reading this thread, I did some test on my machine and this is
an issue. I noticed that some sheets that I work on took time to save
but didn't really affect productivity. Yesterday during my tests, the
autosave kicked in. My test file took 11 minutes to save. 11 minutes
that prevented me from working on the spreadsheet.
I am going to add my comments to the bug listed above as this is an
issue for usage in larger organization. I am just setting up a
spreadsheet that would be larger than my test one.
This is in Linux so the usage of Excel is not an option.
