From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.1) Gecko/20010607 Netscape6/6.1b1 Description of problem: In the version of gnumeric shipped with Roswell, the text file imprt plugin is missing. This makes it a little difficult to manipulate text files in gnumeric How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Gnumeric 2. Try to import a text file 3. Additional info:
tried to open a .csv file and would not open... ?
I had no problem importing a CSV file when I: - Open the Import dialog - Select the file - Change "file format" option menu to "Text File Import" It brings up the text importer dialog which works properly for me. (The text file importer is, I believe, built in, so it would seem hard for it to be missing.) Does this sequence of operations not work for you?
works for me now - I was not selecting the 'file format' but relying on the default setting
I don't even get to the file format dialogue. I get error reading DIF file
I see what you mean by file formatsetting (ie in file open dialogue box) BUT this I still see as a bug - in previous / non roswell version a seperate dialogue box came up after you chose the file.
I don't think it is a bug, just a different user-interface. I've filed a suggestion that there may be some problems with the interface upstream as: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58648
