Corrupted converted files #686

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Python 2.7+ and Google Data for Python
2. Modify the file to include your credentials (auth 2.0)
3. Change your destination folder to your preference
4. Uncomment the desired conversion options (I tested them one at the time)
5. Run the script

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The output is fine: everything is said to be correctly converted. But the 
following conversion options generate unreadable/corrupted files:
- MS Word for Google Documents (RTF works great; didn't try OpenOffice)
- MS Excel for Google Spreadsheets
- OpenOffice Spreadsheet for Google Spreadsheets 
- MS Powerpoint for Google Presentations

What version of the product are you using?
- cf. attachment for Python script
- Windows 7
- Python 2.7.3
- Office 2007 with latest updates; files also fail to open on Office 2010 on Mac
- Latest OpenOffice (4.0.1)
- Latest Google Data for Python

Please provide any additional information below.
The attached Python script aims at backup up Google Apps files (spreadsheets, 
documents, images, presentations, scripts) and ignoring other files, but most 
conversion options fail to produce readable files although conversion doesn't 
fail. The options that produce unreadable files are listed above, but I didn't 
test them all.
