GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 530183
Fails to load .wb1 file
Last modified: 2008-04-27 16:31:44 UTC
Please describe the problem: Import Plug-in fails completely, producing the error stated below 'Invalid 'QPRO_PAGE_ATTRIBUTE' record of length 34 instead of 30' Steps to reproduce: 1. Start Gnumeric 2. File - > Open 3. Actual results: Result as described in the summary above. Expected results: Data to be imported and then visible in worksheet Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: Interestingly.. Open Office ( 2.3 ) Calc has problems as well. However, renaming .wb1 files with the extension .wb2 then allows successful import in to OO Calc. Was going to dig into the import routine myself, but before I did so, asked on #gnumeric irc channel for further info, where I was advised to submit a bug report. Anyone else, better informed than I, also experienced this behaviour? Cheers, Chris.
It would be helpful if you could attach a sample file that shows the problem here.
Created attachment 109990 [details] Quattro Pro file with wb1 extension Quattro Pro file with wb1 extension as requested.
Thanks. The QPRO_PAGE_ATTRIBUTE things is harmless: we don't actually do anything with that record anyway. This, however, is less harmless: ... 901 with 69 907 with 24930 Condition "*len < 0x2000" failed. 26 with -32664 Condition "*len < 0x2000" failed. We seem to get out of sync with something in the file.
This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.
Cheers and many thanks for looking into this issue Morten. I'll go check it out.
