Remove sheet protection from .xlsx files.

Run the script/packaged executable from the command line.

Universal unpackaged

py unblock.py [--cli] [--dir]

Powershell:

& "C:\Users\...\unblock.exe" [--cli] [--dir]

Cmd

unblock.exe [--cli] [--dir]

• If starting without options, you will be presented a multi-file picker. Choose any amount of xlsx files to unblock, select 'Open' and you are done.

• If starting with --dir option, you will be presented a directory picker. Select your directory and click 'Select Folder'. Unblocker will then check for and process all viable files in the directory.

• Should you want to run this as --cli application, you will be prompted to enter paths to the target files. In standard mode, you will only be able to point to a single file, in --dir mode, you will be able to supply a directory path.

Select a directory instead of individual files. All .xlsx files in the directory will be processed.

Replaces the GUI file/directory picker with cli-input paths. Paths can be specified both explicitly and relative.

Written in Python 3.9.7, should work on 3.x. Depends solely on std libraries.

Input-files will be overwritten with unlocked versions.

Only works on .xlsx files. Older excel formats should be converted using Excel, via 'Save As' -> '.xlsx'

• More transparent logging
• Auto-convert xls to xlsx
