No, that wasn't the intention. The FilterOptions property currently is
not evaluated if the dialog is invoked. The dialog is used to set the
FilterOptions for filter processing.
Recall that Laurant was looking for some kind of default options he
wanted to store in the .xcu UserData, which should get used whenever
a .csv file is opened, no macro involved. My idea was, to let the
framework transport that UserData as the FilterOptions property and
initialize the dialog accordingly. But:

Ah, I overlooked that one, thanks. Probably the wording, UserData
doesn't match FilterData ;-) Yes, the property would had to be
implemented, currently it isn't. So if the filter config's .xcu UserData
is always transported in the FilterData property (is it? am I on the
right track here?) we could use it as a default initialization if no
FilterOptions property is set.
Summary:
- Framework sets fcfg_calc_filters.xcu UserData as FilterData property.
- User may set FilterOptions property, for example in a macro.
- ScFilterOptionsObj::execute() processing:
- IF FilterOptions set:
- use FilterOptions to initialize dialog settings.
- ELSE IF optional other application configuration's presets may
define dialog settings:
- use those
- ELSE IF FilterData set:
- use FilterData to initialize dialog settings.
- ELSE
- use application's defaults.
- set FilterOptions from dialog values.
- process filter.
Does that make sense?
