Hi, Frank -- 

I understand the focus on OOo2.

I also appreciate that you're working with limited resources.

The issue of opening large numbers of .csv files in a session (let's not forget
that a session can last for weeks or months on a GNU/Linux or other *NIX system)
is not as unusual as you may think.  In situations where reporting via web
applications is a necessity,   often the only option for aggregating data from
multiple sources is downloading a .csv file, which should be openable in a
spreadsheet.  In many cases a "knowledge worker" will take the new spreadsheet
with the contents of the .csv file, select the desired information and copy it
into their own master spreadsheet, then close the window with the .csv contents
in it.  For the home user, I admit this is quite a stretch, but in a business
setting it is common.  I heard a co-worker of mine utter "I HATE Open Office!"
over this bug.  We are a GNU/Linux shop.  My boss and I are advocates of F/OSS
and encourage its use wherever possible.  I'm a booster for OOo, and when I HAVE
to use a WP or Spreadsheet, I use OOo.  This is just the sort of thing that can
hamstring acceptance of OOo (specifically and F/OSS in general) in the greater
business community and more deeply entrench MS in its monopoly.

Is this at least planned to be fixed in OOo 2?

Thanks,

Paul
