ODG format details:
The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the ODG files looks like this:
ODG is a very widely used file extension. The file type is primarily used by a single program. The two most common formats are as follows:
- 97% of all ODG files use the ZIP algorithm, i.e. an ODG file contains several compressed files. 16 to 21 compressed files are common. Common included file names are content.xml, meta.xml, mimetype, settings.xml, styles.xml, \Configurations2\, \Configurations2\accelerator\, \Configurations2\accelerator\current.xml, \Configurations2\floater\, \Configurations2\images\, \Configurations2\images\Bitmaps\, \Configurations2\menubar\, \Configurations2\popupmenu\, \Configurations2\progressbar\, \Configurations2\statusbar\, \Configurations2\toolbar\, \Configurations2\toolpanel\, \META-INF\manifest.xml and \Thumbnails\. You can see the included files and images by renaming the file extension to .zip and then double-clicking it. A typical file size is 100 KB. The files contain the following words: mimetypeapplication/vnd.oasis.opendocument.graphicsPK, Configurations2/menubar/PK and Configurations2/progressbar/PK. Such files are related to logo, misc, plan, carte, form, speiseplan, open, lebenslauf, lohnsteuer, vorlage, chart and fiche.
The remaining 3% of all ODG files are different files with different signatures. Sometimes used for application, declaration, mattioni, diagram, molding or renzo. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your ODG file!
