Hi,
I am looking to change the default save extension from .ods to something that Microsoft has like .xlsx
You wouldn’t be meaning to always save as XLSX ? If so, DON’T DO IT ! You’ll be playing with fire and at some point you’ll shoot yourself in the head (foot ain’t enough) when the incompletely supported format ain’t saved and/or read right ! Always save in the native format FIRST !
@rautamiekka, interesting point you make. You’re probably right in the most general sense. I have a spreadsheet that I use for my calendar and which I open in a dual boot environment: Linux/LO and Windows/Excel. It mostly works fine. I do have to delete some strange overlaying boxes from time to time that is part of the locked headers mode. So I think simple sheets saved as .xlsx can work fine. Too bad there isn’t a setting to disallow incompatible LO things in this case.
Hallo
> soffice --help
tells me to try something like
>soffice --convert-to xlsx somefile.ods [someothers.ods …]
>#or with wildcard-pattern:
>soffice --convert-to xlsx *.ods
