Created attachment 134748 [details] problem file Trying to open an XML file with LibreOffice and results error dialog which says "General Error. General input/output error."
it seems the file doesn't have a correct format. Probably you will get an error if you open it in another app (ie. firefox )
This file i can open using Microsoft Office 2007. And I found the problem. When inner of the node includes the following characters - "<" it fails to open the files. For example <Data ss:Type="String">ÄàòàÎêîí÷Àðåíäû<ÄàòàÐåãÄîãÀðåíäû</Data> May be it has to be the fact that Calc considers "<" as the end of the node, instead of "</"
On pc Debian testing x86-64, the attached file doesn't open on Firefox 5.2.20, it shows an error.
Xisco, Julien, I don't understand why you didn't close this one. If file is incorrect, then it's OK for LO to say "Error." There's no crash. If I'm wrong, feel free to comment and set back to Unconfirmed.
Timur: because I wasn't sure since the file seems to open on Excel according to the reporter.
Xisco, we should have a policy on this: file is incorrect but opens with... (MSO).
I'm sorry. But i open this file in Wicrosoft office and wps office to.but Libre office can't open this file. Why? The main reason is the how Libre office parse xml. In xml <,> is a special characters and libre office parse whis file how simple xml. I think that support libreoffice such files will not be bad overall for the product
Confirmed in Version: 6.0.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: e0b6a4a2d2dec4e9614f27fc03f84b1c578028ec CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: ca-ES (ca_ES.UTF-8); Calc: group and LibreOffice 3.3.0 OOO330m19 (Build:6) tag libreoffice-3.3.0.4 If I delete the < from 'ÄàòàÎêîí÷Àðåíäû<ÄàòàÐåãÄîãÀðåíäû' the file is opened correctly
Perhaps NOTOURBUG because I'm afraid we're dependent on libxslt/libxml2 libraries (for both, last stable versions are used).
