--- Comment #3 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- I believe the best thing to implement would be OP's alternative suggestion: > Alternatively, a means to create a personalized format representation with a > module function would be also be a way to enhance the personalized format > feature. That really scratches the itch IMHO. As for the main ask here - I weakly-support it, because: 1. IP addresses, while not a very common use cases, are not a tiny niche; and tables of data involving IP addresses are often the result of event logging on the Internet. 2. We already support a variety of number formatting types, in several categories, and do not lack anything in the UI for enabling this support. 3. "Third-party" support requires either keeping every element of the IP in a separate column (which many not even be possible with IPv6), or doing a lot of string processing. Both are cumbersome to work with and I'm worried about performance when using them. 4. Either MS Excel has it, in which case - competitor parity; or it doesn't have it, in which case: one-upping the competition :-) I realize that someone might argue "oh, but shall we now add another number format option for any number of niche formats?" - and the answer to that is, that AFAICT, there are extremely few, if any, other such requests, and I doubt the adoption of IP formatting will change this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
