Description of problem: gnumeric can't open .xls (microsoft excel) files. Fedora 9 version could open them without issue Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnumeric-1.8.2-2.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to open xls file 2. Get unsupported format error 3. Actual results: Get unsupported format error Expected results: File opens Additional info: It seems the package hasn't been rebuilt for F-10. I tried a simple F-10 rebuild in koji to see if that would resolve the issue (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=926137) but to no avail. Not sure what else has changed since then. I use gnumeric extensively as its a more lightweight than oo.org for simple spreadsheets. There's also version 1.8.3 out
Works for me. When i open my xls doc it says "Invalid MS Proprietary section" but opens the xls file. I am using one from: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=69958 Can you attach the xls file you are using please.
Created attachment 323755 [details] No option to save as excel Unfortunately I can't provide a copy of the spreadsheets I use. But I'll attach a screen shot as you can't even save a new spreadsheet as excel. I'm not sure if its because I'm missing a library that it needs. I've also tried with the build you provided from koji above.
Works for me. Working a book in xls format is working, if that is what you meant.
Created attachment 323756 [details] works for me
Can you please check this for me please. I have the excel libraries: [huzaifas@dhcp1-72 ~]$ rpm -ql gnumeric | grep excel /usr/lib/gnumeric/1.8.2/plugins/excel /usr/lib/gnumeric/1.8.2/plugins/excel/excel.so /usr/lib/gnumeric/1.8.2/plugins/excel/plugin.xml
OK, it appears for some reason on a clean install all the plugins were disabled. Once I enabled them it now works OK.
Strange i did a clean install too and none of them were disabled. Closing this anyways.
