Hello!

I have a dual boot machine running Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 10, and my files are on a thumb drive. When working in Windows the plugin accesses the ods file without any problem:

When working in Ubuntu however, I get "Path is empty". When I rename the file by removing "s" from materials I get "The File /path/material.ods does not exist". So It appears to be finding the file, but not able to read it:

The ods file was originally saved in LibreOffice Calc. I downloaded GNUmeric and saved the ods file in "strict" and "extended" file formats to be sure the problem wasn't with LibreOffice. I have the same problem with all versions of the ods file. I have tried using the full path name on the thumb drive and from the home folder, same problem on both. When I installed SMath last week I installed mono from the Ubuntu repositories, so it should be the last stable release.

Any suggestions would be of great help!

Thanks
Dave

Hello Dave,

I'll look into it as soon as possible.

It might be an issue with the zip library, but I'm not sure.

Just found the issue; as I was thinking, it's a problem in the zip library (#17745). I'll provide a fix ASAP.
