Priority: medium
Bug ID: 74580
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: FILEOPEN: Add option to disable import dialog when
opening a CSV file
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.0.4 release
Component: Spreadsheet
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description:
The CSV import dialog is redundant and adds an extra step to open a file for
users who work with the same types of CSVs that have identical delimiters and
charsets.
Microsoft Excel opens CSV files silently. The issue of different
delimiters/charsets is handled by using delimiters that are common in the
user's country. For example, the U.S. version of Excel will use commas by
default, and some European versions of Excel will use semicolons.
I suggest that LibreOffice adds an option for the user to select his or her own
defaults when opening CSV files.
I would go even further by separating the Open and Import options for CSV
files. The double-click or File=>Open... menu would open the CSV file silently
with the default options applied while File=>Import... would allow to change
delimiters and character sets.
Operating System: All
Version: 4.2.0.4 release
