Hi, I have asked this question before, but since I had not subscribed I was not able to answer to your questions or even to give an example. As the title says gnumeric does not recognize the type of the file I want to import. I attach a file so that you can check it for yourself. Let me clarify something here: Gnumeric has no problem opening excel or gnumeric files. The file I have attached is a txt file (some data). Currently, I am using gnumeric 1.2.0 because it works without any problems, with regard to file autorecognizition. I had installed gnumeric 1.2.2-1.2.4-1.2.6 but all of them failed to import the file. The error message was "not supported file" or something like that. However, these versions of gnumeric can import the file if a select the type of the file. I am using Gentoo. I do not know what other informations you might need to identify the problem, but I will be glad to provide you with all kind of informations. Thank you in advance for your time and help, Vasilis
