Problem2: On opening, LO is trying to fix a file that does not exist

LO v4.1.3.2, Ubuntu v13.10. I downloaded a MS Excel file with the xlsx file type. Of course I read it in and saved it with the ods format. Now every time I open LO, it tries to fix the file that is in the Recent list. I don't know if it is going through a counter loop, or if this is a permanent condition now. I cannot find the file, but it may exist.

John,

any chance of sharing the xlsx file? I appreciate this may be confidential.

BTW this list does not allow attachments :frowning: but you can add an attachment via the nabble interface:

Hi :slight_smile:
Just say "No"! :wink: (or cancel or whatever). LibreOffice and
OpenOffice often try to make sure you don't lose anything. Sometimes
you jhust have to tell it you don't want it's help! :wink:

I thought I had done that, but I did it again and it no longer tries to fix that file.

Thanks, john

Hi :slight_smile:
Yup, you would probably be surprised how many of us did the same thing
at first. It's kinda cute that it tries to help but at the same time
it can sometimes be very annoying.
Congrats and regards from
