GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 627989
Get External Data druid imports only one row of input CSV file
Last modified: 2010-08-26 00:09:08 UTC
Created attachment 168777 [details] CSV file to import with "Get External Data" 1. I generate the attached CSV file with a Python script (using standard library CSV functions) in Linux (Ubuntu 9.04) 2. File looks normal in Mousepad and VIM, imports correctly into OpenOffice Spreadsheet 3. In Gnumeric 1.8.4, I select Data/Get External Data/Import Text File, and the Druid starts; I select the attached file 4. Druid step 1 looks normal, all rows visible, but the "to"-spinner for last row will not spin above 1. Same GUI area show "1 of 7 lines to import" Typing 7 into spinner makes no difference to what happens later. I make no other changes to settings. 5. I make no changes to middle step of Druid (but only 1 row visible) 6. In step 3, I change column 3 to text (it's a phone no, I want the leading zero to be kept). But only 1 row visible. 7. Imported data only contains 1 row. Where are the other 6? OpenOffice imports all 7 rows.
You are using an old version of gnumeric with a new version of gtk. Changed behaviour in gtk caused this bug. Note that 1.10.9 is the current version of Gnumeric.
