Description Andreas J. Guelzow 2009-04-10 14:27:43 UTC 
This bug is split off from 578557

We are saving the meta data (author, title etc)  in the .gnumeric file. Strangely enough we are using opendocument formatting to do that. In any case we are not loading it again. The code indicates that we are not using the old formatting from pre 1.7.1 anymore but doesn't indicate what we are using.

(Disturbingly we seem to save and load the metadata in our .xls files)
Comment 1 Andreas J. Guelzow 2009-04-10 14:48:41 UTC 
It seems that we also write and read many metadata items to opendocument files, at least title, subject, author, key and comment are coming through. Manager, company and author is being written into the ods file but not read.
Comment 2 Andreas J. Guelzow 2009-04-13 14:11:04 UTC 
I have fixed libgsf to also read "user-defined" data, so manager company and author are now also read from an ods file.
Comment 3 Andreas J. Guelzow 2009-05-06 21:45:34 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
