I test with ssconvert from v1.9.15 to convert 1.9.9 files b1.xls is a gnumeric 1.9.9 format file with .xls filename extension (all my gnumeric files use xls extension)
$ ssconvert -T Gnumeric_XmlIO:sax b1.xls // not converted as verified by zcat b1.xls|head but $ cp b1.xls b1.gnumeric $ ssconvert -T Gnumeric_XmlIO:sax b1.gnumeric // converted ok Apparently it must use correct filename extension for force updating. -- regards, ==================================================== GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3 _______________________________________________ gnumeric-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list
