Description Mikeyy - L10n HR 2015-02-28 19:32:07 UTC

Try running this command from command line interface (CLI) on windows:
soffice --headless --convert-to csv:"Text - txt - csv (StarCalc)":"59,ANSI,1" *.ods

It will not work.

If you type in exact file, like:
soffice --headless --convert-to csv:"Text - txt - csv (StarCalc)":"59,ANSI,1" test.ods

It will work.

If you check almost non expistent documentation for CLI:
https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Starting_the_Software_With_Parameters

You will notice it should support *.ods and similliar commands.

More probably, this BUG exist on Linux as well.
However I am facing to a more serious probelm.
Giving the full filename to the source file (even if renamed to "a.docx", no space, no special characters) does not help.

"libreoffice --help"
can list all known options, but the "--convert-to pdf" will result NO output.
Even no error message!
I also tested the "--ptint-to-file" and the "--cat" option, with no results!
However ie: "--calc" and "--writer" options are working from command-line.

System : Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
Version: LibreOffice 4.4.1.2 40m0(Build:2)

I'm facing same problem on windows and not really sure why.
On my work win 8.1 computer, LO 4.4.1.2 I made batch file which uses this command successfuly.
Transfered same batch file on another win 7 computer, with same LO version and it's not working. Everything goes as expected, no error, it just doesn't create csv file.
