Sample xz compressed csv file

Background : At work I have millions of csv files compressed in xz format. These are recompressed from .gz for better compression using idle cpu cycles on the network. This helps recover a good amount of disk space.


It would be very nice if Calc is able to import *.csv.xz format without using an external tool to first decompress.


Importing of *.csv.gz is already reported tdf#90225. I have submitted a joint patch for this enhancement and tdf#90225 at https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/15108/

The purpose of this bug report is that someone needing the same functionality will see these two reports while searching and avoid duplicates.

Hello,
so this is not duplicate of bug 90225? In bug 90225 you implemented only .gz compression?

Beluga:
In my archiver I have 23 suffixes of compression types, sure more exist. Do we open bug for every type? See comment 3 of bug 90225. Widely used is zip, 7zip, rar, tar, tar.* for example.
Comment 2 Buovjaga 2015-04-05 09:14:35 UTC
Asked the devs on #libreoffice-dev and the consensus was that .gz support is going in, but that's where it stops. David Tardon already commented on gerrit.

Closing as dupe.
