xls file
I have the save behavior with the "xls file" attached since I upgraded from 3.5.2 to 3.5.3. I'm using win7 x32 (Atom cpu) and x64. The file is saved in more than 1mn instead of a few seconds. Heavy CPU usage, the process is "not responding" according to win7 I have the same issue, but with Mac OS X. I switch back to 3.5.2, which saves (at least XLS files) much faster. Also, 3.5.3 crashed during one of the prolonged save operations. Remove the lines and it's fast. Insert one vertical line along a whole column and it's slow again. Same file in version 3.5.2 saves fast with and without lines. *** Bug 50168 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** i can confirm this lag on linux, so it is probably not platform specific. it took the computer more than 30 seconds to save the file Jeff provided. during the time i had a very high load. running ubuntu 11.04 with libreoffice 3.5.3 on a Intel Centrino Core 2 Duo T7300 @2.00 GHz The behaviour is still the same with libreoffice 3.5.4 *** Bug 50170 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I can confirm it on XP and W7. The same behavior is when saving as xlsx. Because of the heavy memory consumption the system will crash on files with many tables. There is no problem saving the file in ods format. *** Bug 50811 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Markus Mohrhard committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=66ea6d9801ea8e214f39a70251e5ccc5f47c315a only export the supported number of rows/columns, fdo#49582 Markus Mohrhard committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "libreoffice-3-6": http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=462f94c2b93a65e5388e2935baaeeac165679a14&g=libreoffice-3-6 only export the supported number of rows/columns, fdo#49582 It will be available in LibreOffice 3.6. Many thanks. Look forward to 3.6. Fixed in 3.5.5 with http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?h=libreoffice-3-5-5&id=6a6cee1af26e68c7a5479f2eff5a33d483ff54ed The problem is that this patch was correct but our cell export code is horrible and will create million of temporary cells if we have formatting in a whole column. Excel exports cells differently and we may need to switch to their way to export to xls. Created attachment 63745 [details]
