I can confirm that the problem still exists in Version 4.0.0.0.beta2 (Build ID: 4104d660979c57e1160b5135634f732918460a0) on Ubuntu 12.04 (x86) sorry we are not going to support importing a bare content.xml. what you can do is create a "flat ODF" file that is just a single xml file; the "OpenDocument Spreadsheet Flat XML" should be able to import that. for details about the format see this section in the ODF 1.2 specification: 3.1.2 <office:document>(Single OpenDocument XML Files) (In reply to Michael Stahl from comment #2) > sorry we are not going to support importing a bare content.xml. Well, it's already possible, it just missing type detection. Explicitly choosing flat xml from the types list allows me to open a bare content.xml. |
Problem description: I have a script which is exporting an OpenDocument-format XML file containing an <office:spreadsheet> I do not have any need for the style or metadata information that a full ods archive contains, so I am not creating that. LibreOffice cannot read the file I create. Steps to reproduce: 1. Extract a content.xml file from any .ods archive 2. (optional) Compress the file again with DEFALTE and a zip header. 2. Launch Calc and try to Open... this file, OR 3. Rename the file to Anything.ods and double-click it Current behavior: LibreOffice treats the file as a CSV/TSV file and tries to import fields/rows from it as such. Expected behavior: LibreOffice would recognise the file as (perhaps compressed) XML and try to interpret it as an OpenDocument spreadsheet.
