--- Comment #3 from Andreas Scholz <[email protected]> ---
Sorry, first I should say, that the main reason for my posting of this report
was more a feature request than a bug report.
I thought the reason for my problem were the different linebreaks in Windows
and Linux. They aren't, as I know now. I didn't recognize the problem on my old
Windows machine yet. But while creating the testfile for this report, I tried
it on both machines with the same result. My fault was the wrong setting of the
text delimiter (single or double quotes).
But it seems, as there is another problem. LO stores the last settings in the
textimport window. That's nice and should remain this way. But the preview
sometimes shows a wrong result. I created 2 almost identical csv-files. One
with single quotes as text delimiter, one with double quotes. Field delimiter
of both is semicolon.
Content of the file "text_delimiter_double_quote.csv":
"CellA1_line1[LF]CellA1_line2";CellB1[LF]
CellA2;CellB2[LF]
The other file similar, but with single quotes.
I opened both alternating. For example with the former setting to single quotes
I opened the file with the double quotes. The preview in the textimport window
was wrong. It showed the decided import but the cell A1 became broken. See the
attached screenshot. Now as I know this, I can work around it by clicking any
setting so the preview shows what I'll get.
Anyway - my real problem is, that a certain program I use makes csv-outputs
with not correct text delimiters. In this case, I think, a new option of
setting the various linebreaks could be helpful.
