Description gabriel.sandor 2016-03-23 10:40:33 UTC
Created attachment 123789 [details]
Calc unable to open the attached file when it should.

LibreOffice Calc sees as invalid an xlsx file that is missing the "count" and "uniqueCount" attributes in the "sst" root element of the sharedStrings.xml file.

The SpreadsheetML specification states in section 18.4.9 that they are optional and can both be missing without any problems.

Other applications such as MS Excel can open the file without a glitch.

I just found the real cause of the failure to open the file in Calc.

It's not related to any of the XML files in the archive.

It's because of the archive itself, it was created programatically using the SharpZipLib .NET library and it seems Calc is unable to process the archive. I don't really know why, because the file can still be opened in MS Excel or unzipped with 7-Zip.

7-Zip reports this is a Zip64 file, marking as duplicate.
