Well, indeed it crashes. And indeed it loses data: I load a file, I work on it and then save it after having worked minutes, hours or even days, as I often leave Gnumeric open indefinitely. If I then close Gnumeric, all the work I have done until that point is lost, as the file cannot be read back. >IMHO support for proprietary format is a courtesy and a good will of gnumeric >developers but not an essential functionality. All of Gnumeric is a courtesy and a good will of the developers, including the five file formats it can write to. I am sure the developers do not see .xls as "not essential". If it were so, I would have to stop using Gnumeric, as I use the native format only for files that I do not need to share. >> It's just that I file a bug report now and then, and I always forget >> about the meaning of the various definitions... > >No worries. :) Well, maybe after this conversation it will be easier for me to remember :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
