Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 24849
Empty excell spread sheets are opened as Writer documents
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:42:42 UTC
Following on from OR 24848: Having attempted a write to a full disc OOo reduced the file to 0 bytes. I loaded the .xls file into OOo and was presented with a blank piece of paper as if I had just done Document --> New in Writer. Probably having a spreadsheet file of 0 bytes is a little unusual but it would be nice to be presented with an empty spread sheet document if the document type can be ascertained by other means.
Hi, I think this affects also the other components, so I set the component to framework and re-assign it. Frank
TM->BH: I changed this one from defect to enhancement because a "...it would be nice to be presented with an empty spread sheet document..." is more a wish for a change in the behaviour than a defect. Anyhow, as far as I know,... a 0 byte size document can only be opened as a blank one because of any missing file-format information.
