Correction: The required manifest:version="1.2" is required, for ODF 1.2 documents, on the <manifest:manifest> element (the root of META-INF/manifest.xml> and on the <manifest:file-entry> having manifest:full-path="/".
Also, double-check all places where MIME Type strings are expressed, including in the mimetype file of the package. There should be no ",", ";" or whitespace characters in the content values. - [;<). -----Original Message----- From: Dennis E.

It also requires a manifest:media-type attribute whose value matches the string in the package's mimetype. E.g., manifest:media-type="application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text". In addition, but only for an ODF 1.2 document, there should be a manifest:version="1.2" on that <manifest:file-entry> element and also on the <manifest:file-entry> for the content.xml part. (In that case, there must be office:version="1.2" attributes on the root elements of content.xml, styles.xml, and meta.xml I believe. Check whether these are on the versions of the file that are not reported as corrupted and follow suit. Finally, how are you producing the mimetype in the Zip package? It might be better to let LO do that. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Eric Brunel [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2012 05:36 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Document 'corrupt' for LibreOffice, opens fine with other OOo-based software [SOLVED!] On 6 juin 12, at 09:58, Eric Brunel wrote: > On 6 juin 12, at 03:07, TomW wrote: >> >> At http://odf-validator.rhcloud.com/, the original file fails: > > Ah!

So, I guess the problem is solved, even if I'd like to know > anyway what the error above means. For the record, here is what I had to do: Put the mimetype file in the archive at the first position. This seems to be mandatory in any ODF file. Delete the settings.xml file from the archive, as it seems it is not really needed and can cause some problems. Write a correct META-INF/manifest.xml file, referencing exactly all the files in the archive and no other. Make sure all opening tags for all XML documents included the same ODF version. That was quite easy in my case, since I just had to copy the version from the template document. With all this, the document opens without problem in all versions of all OOo-based software we could test (including LO 3.5.4, IBM Lotus Symphony 3.0.0 FP2 and OOo 3.1.1). Looking back at it, it is actually quite surprising the former versions opened the file without any warning, since the META-INF/ manifest.xml file in it was completely wrong. The newer versions really seem to do the right thing here. Thanks a lot again to all who answered. - Eric - -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
