https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68904 David Tardon dtar...@redhat.com changed: What|Removed |Added Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |NOTABUG CC||dtar...@redhat.com --- Comment #1 from David Tardon dtar...@redhat.com --- The libwpd API that libmwaw uses only handles text documents. There is a comparable API for import of spreadsheets in liborcus, but so far nobody has used it to write additional import filters (other than the few that are already part of liborcus). I am closing this report, because technically it is not a bug, but a known limitation of what libmwaw can do. And it only marginally touches libreoffice anyway, as libmwaw is not even under our control. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Instead of saying Hey, Appleworks now! in New Features, you should say Hey, Appleworks now (Word Processing and Drawing only)! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Instead of saying Hey, Appleworks now! in New Features, you should say Hey, Appleworks now (Word Processing and Drawing only)! Where do you read that? What I see is Support for Legacy Mac Word Processor Documents (http://www.libreoffice.org/download/4-1-new-features-and-fixes/) and Support for legacy Mac word-processing documents (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.1). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68904 --- Comment #4 from chd...@gmail.com --- Sorry, my mistake. I was running down the links provided to blogs describing the new features, and I could swear I read one that said the AppleWorks filters could handle basic Drawing docs too. So I guessed that the filters were capable of more than just Word Processing. But alas, I must've confused the AppleWorks filter with something else. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68904 --- Comment #5 from osnola alo...@loria.fr --- Hello chdiza, I have never seen libmwaw with or without LibreOffice adverted as a converter of spreadsheet or database CWK. Indeed, as David says the new filter ( see http://sourceforge.net/p/libmwaw/wiki/Home/ ) which was added in LibreOffice is mainly limited to convert word processing files and LibreOffice included only 18/24 of these filters ; ie. the list of available was fixed when libmwaw was introduced in LibreOffice and since this date, the list of filters has grown a little :-) As a slight note: Yes, I have indeed done a little exception so that libmwaw accepts to try to convert a paint and drawing AppleWorks/ClarisWorks file: mainly because their formats are quite similar to a word processing file and there are very few available convertors ; sometimes the result can be usable ( but most of the time not :-~ ). But up to my acknowledge, this has not been publicly adverted and when I mention it in a post like in this one, I always add a sentence to say that the result are not yet very good... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
