Bug ID: 33635 Summary: CSV export display broken diacritics in Excel Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Staff interface Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: katrin.fisc...@bsz-bw.de QA Contact: testo...@bugs.koha-community.org CC: clemens.tub...@kit.edu, gmcha...@gmail.com, michaela.sie...@kit.edu This has been a re-occurring support issue: When using one of Koha's many CSV download options, the exported CSV file doesn't open as UTF-8 in Excel, resulting in broken diacritics. LibreOffice doesn't show the issue. The only way to fix it right now is not to open the file directly, but to use the import functionality in Excel as it lets you pick the encoding and separators. This means a lot of extra steps and clicks, which make the CSV export functionalities in Koha hard to use. It turns out that Excel will import the CSV correctly, if we convert the encoding of the exported CSV file from UTF-8 to UTF-8-BOM. Problematic CSV exports include: * Exporting a basket summary page as CSV * Using CSV profile based exports in general, including: lists, basket, lost items report * ... Can we 'fix' the encoding to use BOM? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
