| | I am using versions 2.3.0 on Linux and 2.3.1 Windows and my problem is:
| |
| | Attempts to open old Staroffice documents (with the .sdd extension)
| | result in a General Input/Output error.  They open fine in versions
| | 2.0.x.  Has support for importing these been dropped?
| |
| | Thanks,
| |
| | Bill S.
|
| No StarDraw 3.0/5.0 ".sdd" files can still be opened in the current
| version 2.3.1 version of OOo (OpenOffice.org).
|
| Are you using the "official" version of OOo, or the edition included
| with your (fc8 ?) distro?
|
| Are you seeing any error messages and if so, what do they say?
Ignore the above line. Duh! I missed the info in the subject line.
|
| If you have a non-confidential example file and you would like me to
| test for you, please send it off-list to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
|
| Hope this helps.
|
| Dave

I have received and tested an ".sdd" example file from Bill and it
appears that a bug has been introduced into the 2.3.1 import filter(s).

Here is the body of my reply to Bill:
<Q>
It looks like you have found a regression bug in the import filters. I
tested (both Linux and Windows) your example file and it does generate
the I/O error in the latest version of OOo, but opened perfectly in SO
5.2. I created a couple of simple test (including graphics) ".sdd" files
in SO 5.2 and opened them in OOo Impress without any problem. It would
seem that the bug may have something to do with the complexity of the
".sdd" file.

With your permission, I would like to submit an OOo bug report about
this, using your file as an example.
</Q>

I have subsequently tested Bill's file on a 2.0.x version and can
confirm his claim that it opens without any errors.

Dave
