Add XLS and DOC file formats when saving files

[tumatanquang]

This issue is unique.

• I have used the search tool and did not find an issue describing my idea.

Your idea.

As per the response to this issue: Change document save behavior
Since version 8.1.0, when saving DOC and XLS files, a save file window will appear instead of saving/overwriting directly to the open file.
However, when I save DOC and XLS files, the save file window does not have the DOC and XLS file formats, only DOCX and XLSX formats.
So if I want to have the DOC/XLS file again, after saving it, I have to convert it to this format.
Please add these 2 file formats when saving the file.

Hi @tumatanquang!
Our editors are based on the open OOXML standard and therefore DOCX/XLSX formats are native to it. The DOC/XLS binary formats belong to Microsoft and are not only closed but also outdated. That's why we don't use them.

I close this issue. Feel free to comment or reopen it if you got further questions.

This is quite sad because I quite like the ONLYOFFICE interface. But since it doesn't support XLS and DOC formats, I switched to LibreOffice.

Despite the fact that I did not find an opportunity to save changes to the source file of the old format, i described your proposal in Bug 71217.
I hope the developers will consider it and implement it in the future.
Thanks for feedback.
