When libreoffice is called from the command line for batch processing with
--convert-to it apparently forces a limit on the number of arguments without
telling.
In my case, when giving the names of 371 files on the command line, it starts
working and printing two lines for each processed file until 249 files are
processed, then it hangs.
If I give it 249 file arguments, it works without problems. The command line
is:
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/oosplash --convert-to csv:Text - txt - csv
(StarCalc):44,,,,,,,,,,,3 --outdir ./tmp.GYzB1YV6z1 [ 42-char file names]
I can't even reproduce this
- created 250 files, each with 42char file names
- ran --convert-to pdf
Works:
rene@frodo:~/test$ echo -n "000000000000000000000000000000000000000001" | wc -c && for i in `seq
-w 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000251`; do touch echo $i >
$i; done && ls -1 0* | wc -l; libreoffice --convert-to pdf * && ls -1 *.pdf | wc -l
forgot to remove the touch here after initial experiments, but even with correct echo
$i > $i (-> with a non-empty file..) etc it works.

Rene
