GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 701604
Failure to export URLs to xls
Last modified: 2013-06-05 19:38:01 UTC
Debian bug #226984: -------------------------------------------------------- Package: gnumeric Version: 1.2.4-1 Severity: important URLs in table cells are exported in url style (underlined and in blue color) but have no associated url. Importing excel files with URLs works correctly. -------------------------------------------------------- THis is still the case in current git.
Created attachment 246025 [details] Sample Excel generated file with url
If I send this through Gnumeric: ./ssconvert ../samples/url.xls /tmp/sss.xls I get a file that _does_ have url properties. I.e., I cannot confirm.
Created attachment 246028 [details] sample gnumeric file The attached gnumeric file has a link (attached to the only cell with content). If I run ./ssconvert ../samples/url.gnumeric /tmp/sss.xls and open sss.xls in Gnumeric, then I do not have a link left. Note for your xls file if I run ./ssconvert ../samples/url.xls /tmp/sss.xls I do get a link in sss.xls. So clearly we are exporting some links, bt not all????
I get a link with your file too. Please attach the converted xls file so I can see where we differ.
Created attachment 246035 [details] Converted file File from converting attachment 246028 [details] to xls.
Created attachment 246039 [details] xls file saved from within gnumeric I may have made some mistake with the ./ssconvert ../samples/url.gnumeric /tmp/sss.xls. SInce I can't replicate the problem that way. But if I save from within Gnumeric I am still getting the described problem. I am attaching the xls file created.
Spooky. It seems to depend on what type of xls I save as. As 97/2000/XP it ok. As 97/2000/XP + 95 it is not ok.
This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.
