The reason for asking is I installed and started used it in 42.1 about 5 days ago, to accumulate data in one sheet. It's been growing almost continuously over these days to 18 or 20 columns and reached about 150 rows before I exited the program. While building I saved my work repeatedly, including just a minute or so before shutdown. I saved it only as a non-proprietary format, supposedly compatible with OpenOffice's spreadsheet program, .sxc.
sxc is the old extension for StarOffice Calc Spreadsheet, I still have some sxc documents from 2006/7.
I never had any. I made that choice on an unlucky coin flip from among the choices offered, picking what seems to have been the worst possible.
Now it needs rescue, if that's even possible. KOffice won't open it, reporting "The file seems to be corrupt. Skipping a table.", after which I click OK absent any alternative, resulting in another popup "Could not open <filename>. Reason: Internal Error.", then after dismissing that one, return to the same startup screen instead of any spreadsheet.
Try opening it with the right application, openOffice. :-)
I tried LibreOffice, but its proprietary file picker refuses to recognize the .sxc file.
Then right click on the file, and select "Open with ..."
That implies an assumption that's invalid here. The only file managers used here are OFMs. I don't "open" files that the OFM doesn't handle either natively or via pre-configured text-mode plugins. To open files dependent on GUI apps I open the appropriate app first, then the file.
I booted a machine running 13.1 with KDE3, but its "older" KOffice won't recognize the .sxc either to open or to import.
I doubt if Koffice understands openoffice documents.
Turns out it apparently does, at least, it does with those I've tried since last night. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
