So, exporting 73Kb ODS document (several sheets with one small table on each one of them) into XML in #LibreCalc results in 439Mb file.
#Vim basically dies on this file. #Emacs opens it instantly. I can even navigate it freely and syntax highlighting works. Although it doesn't help much.
Here's a catch:
me@desktop:~/temp$ wc -l file.xml
1 file.xml
It's a 439 Mb long line.
I have no idea what's wrong with LibreCalc.
@chesheer Hi! We're not sure what you mean, by "export to XML", as LibreOffice's own format (.ods) is XML. Can you be more specific? Also, what version of LibreOffice are you using?
@libreoffice I mean "File -> Export..." then choosing Microsoft Office 2003 XML. Actually I wanted XLS file, but didn't put an extension manually, so LibreCalc exported to pure XML.
I used LibreOffice 7.4.7.2 on LMDE 6 (pretty old, I think).
Now I tested it with the same file on LibreOffice 25.2.4.3 on FreeBSD 14.3. Results are the same: 439 Mb file.
@chesheer Ah, OK! That doesn't sound right. Can you please report it to the QA community at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org and share the file if possible (or part of it that recreates the problem). Thanks!
@libreoffice I'll see if I can reproduce it with all sensitive data deleted from file.
