ODT use problem

[gtessler]

I'm using UNOCONV 0.4 to convert a CSV file to ODS spreadsheet using a template (.ots) but for some reason it's not working. when UNOCONV runs in verbose mode, it indicates that it using the template, The ODS is generated but the template configurations are note there.

I'm using the folow command line:

unoconv -v -f ods -t template.ots -i 59,34,utf-8,2 -o teste file.csv

Can you help me find out what I'm doing wrong ?

Thanks for any help

Well, your CSV file obviously does not have any styles attached to
cells, so how exactly do you expect these styles to be set ?

I doubt this will ever work the way you do.

Hi Dag,

Thanks for your fast response!

Now I understood how the template mecanism works. Thanks.

There is a way to pass a "style string parameter" to apply styles to a column set ?

Sorry, another question.

The is a way to just append the CSV data to an already existent ODS file ?

That way I could prepare an already formated spreadsheet and just include the CSV data.

Thanks again for your help

I don't think any of that is possible with the CSV import filter, but you have to discuss this with the upstream project if you have specific feature requests. The more specific you are in how it would/could work, the better.
