Description alci 2014-02-14 13:29:28 UTC 
Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
- create a new spreadsheed document
- insert any formula
- save with sxc format
- re-open the file...

Current behavior:
all formulas are treated as text, and read as ooow:+formula

Expected behavior:
formulas work and my (potentialy big and important) document is not broken :-)
              
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.2.0.4 release

.sxc export will be dropped in 4.3.0. Let's not make this a MAB.
Comment 4 Björn Michaelsen 2014-02-15 21:47:53 UTC 
Ok, but maybe we should then drop the export in 4.2. too? Would be a in-series regression (well, sort of), but better removing the export than collecting more dupes here. As is the export isnt that useful: still better to force people to write ODS instead of broken sxc ...
Comment 5 Regina Henschel 2014-02-15 22:42:16 UTC 
When will the sxc filter be removed? Currently they are still there.

Even in the Save as dialog?

Yeah I'd be fine with it.  We just need to backport the removal commit, plus some adjustment in the test that failed due to the removal.

I've updated my version to Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: ecf22894f522374cbdb8196d3bdef88e2fba7af9

And indeed, it is no longer available, neither in "save" nor in "save as".

4.2 backports:

Comment 10 Kohei Yoshida (inactive) 2014-04-11 16:02:09 UTC 
Those 2 backported commits will remove saving to those legacy file formats, including sxc.
Comment 11 Kohei Yoshida (inactive) 2014-04-12 12:32:23 UTC 
Fixed by removing sxc from the export filter list.
