Also I read on a linux > forum that I cannot find that mimetype has to be ‘at the beginning’ of > the file. there are very specific requirements on the "mimetype" file that are likely difficult for generic zip libraries etc.; note that there is an ODFDOM project that is a Java library that supports the ODF package specification directly so it makes this kind of thing much easier (it will also maintain the manifest automatically for you); it is now part of the Apache ODF Toolkit project. http://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/ if you use a generic zip library then you should really read the ODF 1.2 part 3 specification to understand the special requirements. > Also I wonder if there are any files that should be updated if tables > get added etc. any other files in the ODB file? i'm not familiar with the database part of ODF, but i could imagine it contains meta-data like column descriptions and such; for details refer to ODF 1.2 part 1 specification. https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
