There are interesting parts in sc about detection, see <a href="http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sc/source/ui/unoobj/scdetect.cxx#detect">http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sc/source/ui/unoobj/scdetect.cxx#detect</a> and <a href="http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sc/source/ui/unoobj/scdetect.cxx#lcl_MayBeDBase">http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sc/source/ui/unoobj/scdetect.cxx#lcl_MayBeDBase</a> But since we tell LO we're going to deal with Dbase files why bothering about it? Indeed, if I create a file EXAMPLE.DBF on Windows. Then I put the file on usb key and put in on Linux. LO Base with DBase option should just open the file. Searching about DBase, it's been created on CP/M and about this one: "The CPM CPP module converts commands into upper case before they are executed which leads many to believe that the CPM file system is not case sensitive, when in fact the CPM file system is case sensitive." see <a href="http://www.shaels.net/index.php/cpm80-22-documents/using-cpm/3-file-names">http://www.shaels.net/index.php/cpm80-22-documents/using-cpm/3-file-names</a> (sorry I didn't find more official) So "dbf" and "DBF" should be considered as a single option.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
