Re: How can I recover a gnumeric file?



Thank you so much for that. The new file works fine. It's mainly
raw(ish) data, so styles don't matter very much.

How could this have happened though? I certainly never made those
changes to my file intentionally.

Cheers,
Pete.

Looks that the sheets are very large: 16384 columns and 1048576 rows,
and I suppose you don't have terabytes RAM. Changing that to the default
and removing some StyleRegion nodes extending to rows larger than
1000000 made things work much more fluently. I'll send you back the
fixed file. I just hope I did not accidentally removed a needed style.

Best regards,
Jean

Thanks for that. I've forwarded the file you you (Jean).

I tried opening the uncompressed version in gnumeric, and I didn't think
it worked. However, about 2–5 minutes later, gnumeric launched with the
file. I tried to "save as" another file, but now it appears to have
frozen again. It's running on two full cores, so I'll wait and see if it
can write the file correctly, but there appears to be some issue with
the file and/or gnumeric at least.

Cheers,
Pete.

You don't need to compress the gnumeric file again. Gnumeric can read
uncompressed files. Hard to say why you can't open it without actually
seeing the contents. If the file does not contain confidential data,
please file a bug report and attach the file. Otherwise you might send
it to one of us, and we'll delete it when done.

Best regards,
Jean

Great! Thanks for that. The file does gunzip fine. The xml looks normal
enough, and validates online [1]. Is there a way to now feed this
information back into gnumeric, without having to manually pick through
the xml?

I tried gzipping this xml again, but this also failed to open in
gnumeric. I'm not sure if it's relevant, but the new gzipped file
differed from the original gnumeric file.

When I started with `gnumeric /path/to/file.gnumeric`, I get no messages
in the console.

Cheers, and thank you for the help so far.

I believe it's better to rename to file.gnumeric.gz, then `gunzip
file.gnumeric.gz`.
When you start `gnumeric /path/to/file.gnumeric`, do you get any message
in the console?

Best regards,
Jean

Hi,

.gnumeric files are compressed xml files. So the first thing to try is
to uncompress the file. On Kubuntu you may want to rename the
file.gnumeric to file.zip and see whether the archive manager can open
the file then. If you are successful then the extracted file will give
you all the information that is still available.

Hello,

I'm trying to open a gnumeric file that had worked in the past for me.
Opening the file via `xdg-open` fails silently. Opening the file with
`gnumeric /path/to/file.gnumeric` freezes the command line and fails
silently. Launching Gnumeric first, then opening the file from within
the program causes the "Reading file…" progress bar to freeze while loading.

I'm happy to try and find the cause of this bug, but I have some
important files that I need to extract from the gnumeric file urgently.
Is there a way to recover the contents of the file? I tried opening with
a plain-text editor, but the contents were garbled. Similarly,
Libreoffice Calc didn't know about this format.

Cheers,
Pete.
