Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 9142
detail not exported properties because of no support in target filetype
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:33:15 UTC
detail not exported properties because of no support in target filetype so when a user exports a Calc file or more precisely saves a Calc file as an Excel file for example, the application should show the user WHAT EXACTLY is causing compatibility problems. In order to achieve such functionality, each Calc element could contain a flag "ExcelCompatible" for example; and then those elements where that flag attribute is 0 are shown to the user; perhaps with further info on how to avoid these incompatibilities. Note: the flag is not stored in each instant of the element but static like: you keep a database (compatibility table) where you look up for each element that is used in the current file what the compatibility state is for the selected file format. There should be such properties or else Calc could not do more than Excel, which means Calc is not needed which means ... ! and the user should be well informed when he wants to save sth he did which can't be saved. see also issue 6494 and issue 7258
