------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Aug 2 05:32:12 -0700 2006 ------- Michael was quite right with the nose approach ;-) Kpalagin, > IMO, this functionality is of such importance that all options are viable: > 1. change just interface so that user can filter, but not save condition. Filter settings are saved with defined database ranges, so wouldn't match the actual data view if document was reloaded. Not saving just the new settings would probably quite confuse a user. > 2. modify GUI to construct RegEx for user and save RegEx. Users will quickly > learn to write RegExs themselves. You'd introduce an even longer lasting project.. > 3. Save condition only in foreign format, not .ods. You wouldn't really recommend that, would you? > 4. Change file format. The cleanest option, just takes it time. > 5. Something else. Nice offer. > Options 1-3 allow to postpone change until later. > What are the implications of file format change? Earlier version will be > unable to open files, created by later? Or just filter settings will be lost? Filter settings would be lost (or garbled at worst) and not match the filtered data. But that's not the point in this case. Modifying the document format means having to undergo the OASIS process to review and accept changes. It just takes its time. But I'll propose it.
