gdocbackup - issue #98

Export as docx and xlsx instead of doc xls


Posted on Sep 25, 2012 by Massive Panda

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Backup to doc or xls

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expected: file.doc and spreadsheet.xls Instead: file.docx and spreadsheet.xls

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 0.7.4.184

Please provide any additional information below. docx and xlsx failed to open, they would open correctly only if I change the file extension to doc and xls manually .

I can confirm that this is the behaviour. I am using the latest version (0.7.6.187). I suppose it is because Google dropped support for .doc and .xls and uses .docx and .xlsx for exported files. The problem is that I cannot open docx files with MS Office. When I double click on the downloaded file, MS Word says it is corrupted. I have also verified that downloading the file in .docx directly from the browser works fine.

We have the same problem (GDocBackup 0.7.6.187, Windows Server 2008 R2 64Bit). I've created a second task to rename all xlsx to xls. Do you still need more details?
