How to get mimetype at first position in the zip-container?
Hi all,
when I open a .odp file with 7z, I can edit the content.xml with an
editor. The file is then updated inside the zip-container. But 7z orders
the files and folders alphabetically and therefore the file mimetype is
no longer at first position.
I have already tried to add the files and folders one by one. But 7z
does not keep the order in which the files are added to the container,
but still sort them alphabetically.
Apache OpenOffice itself is tolerant and opens the file nevertheless.
But the file is not valid. I cannot use AOO to save the file, which
would bring the parts in the correct order, because AOO alters the
content when saving and my changes are lost.
Does anyone know, how I can pack the parts, so that it will be a valid
ODF zip-container?
Kind regards
Regina

Didn't you try zip/unzip?
All of the following should be available in your cygwin:
only take the content.xml out of the ODF file:
]$ unzip demo.odg content.xml
Archive: demo.odg
inflating: content.xml
indent it, to make it more readable:
]$ xmlindent -w content.xml
edit it (vim has syntax highlighting):
]$ vim content.xml
put the modified content.xml back:
]$ zip demo.odg content.xml
updating: content.xml
(deflated 84%)
If you get a warning like this:
zip warning: Local Entry CRC does not match CD: content.xml
It's just a warning, the file can be opened safely (nevertheless, best
back up it before playing with all this) vid.

Hi all,
OK, I found a solution: I first generate a zip-container with the
command line version of 7z, which contains only the file mimetype. The
command line version of 7z can do this without compressing the file. And
in the second step I use Windows7 itself and simple drag the files and
folders to that zip-container. Windows7 treats zip-container nearly like
folders.
Kind regards
Regina
