[Bug 710577] Re: [6.0.1] Data export - No more direct Excel export

 

Hello,

I confirm this "old" bug. Regression between v5 and V6.0.2 still
open....

Server: Ubuntu 10.04
Workstation: Windows 7, Excel 2007 French

When using the export functionality from a view, I choose "Open with
Excel" and no excel appears.: you have the prompt box to save a csv and
thats all... In V5 it opens Excel directly (even in my Excel French
version)

I had a look on the csv and I saw that separator was ',', which is not
recognized Excel (at least FR version that requires ';'). Furthermore
some strings were strange due to no conversion between UTF-8 and windows
characters.

I think you should have a deeper look on Excel integration, because the
direct opening of an Excel was an extremely good feature for clients.
Now with v6 I can't demonstrate it anymore (remember that most potential
clients are running Windows Office suite and won't change it because
they are introducing OpenERP).


Regards,

Bernard

Title:
  [6.0.1] Data export - No more direct Excel export

Status in OpenERP GTK Client:
  New

Bug description:
  Hello,

  In v5, when using the "Export data", you had the possibility to choose
  "Open in Excel", and that was very useful in terms of useability.

  Now in V6 you don't have that possibility anymore, you can just save a
  CSV file that you have then to open with Excel... which mean more
  steps for the end-users...

  Is it planned to have that possibility again in V6 ?

  Note the issue is the same with web client...

  Regards,

  Bernard
