Description Dmitry Smirnov 2013-06-05 00:13:17 UTC
Forwarding from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=546069
as reported by user:

One only gets a warning here,
$ ssconvert x.xls x.html
Selected exporter (Gnumeric_html:xhtml_range) does not support saving multiple sheets in one file.
Only the current sheet will be saved.

But not here,
$ ssconvert x.xls x.txt

Please warn there also.

(I didn't test the other conversion types.)
Comment 1 Andreas J. Guelzow 2013-06-06 00:30:08 UTC
Note that this is remotely related to bug #694408. For the text exporter is qualitatively different from the the t exporter since the latter allows specification of the sheets to export.
Comment 2 Andreas J. Guelzow 2013-06-06 00:31:48 UTC
I meant to say that the CSV exporter is qualitatively different from the text  exporter...
Comment 3 Andreas J. Guelzow 2013-06-08 00:48:40 UTC
If you use the configurable text exporter from within GNumeric, then by default all sheets are being exported.

I think we should do this here too, unless the -o 'sheet=...' option is used.

proposed patch

This patch would change the behaviour of the configurable text exporter invoked via ssconvert to export all non-empty sheets (unless sheets are specified in the export options). This would match the default setting in the text export dialog.
