------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Aug 10 10:47:15 -0700 2006 ------- HARD LINKS are such a fundamental concept, that it must be implemented. But it may be difficult now, however I would like to be constructive, therefore: Although it might be difficult to implement it now, lets think more thoroughly about the requirements and plan for future implementation: - the worksheet is probably currently a plain construction, which does not allow hard links. This will probably pose numerous difficulties in the future, too, because it does NOT allow to extend the functionality anyhow - there should be a timely plan to move from this simple plain sheet to something more advanced - I do NOT say make it more comlicated, but rather devise something ingineous, yet simple (simple things are the best) - there are some concerns about efficiency and memory-usage of the sheets (posted somwhere on this site), so a more thorough thought on these issues is warranted My second idea is aimed to envisage a possible solution/help - UNIX OS's have hard-links in their FS - could an expert on UNIX FS help us to devise a more advanced worksheet implementation? - my idea: consider any cell as a 'file' and the FS structure the structure of our sheet - beyond hard links, we could implement in this way even more powerful features (like references to other files, databases, URLs and whatever exists) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
