            Bug ID: 106678
           Summary: CSV Filter Option for quoting everything is ignored
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.2.6.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: BASIC
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

To me it seems like a bug, `document.StoreToURL` will ignore the 8th filter
option for CSV.

Unfortunately the interface to export CSV is not well designed in that there's
no real function call for it, but only `document.StoreToURL` along with
arguments in a certain, undocumented order.

So I'm not quite sure about the intended behaviour.

I found OpenOffice's Documentation of Filter Options, but I'm not sure if it
applies to LibreOffice. There seems to be nothing in the wiki.
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Spreadsheets/Filter_Options#Token_8.2C_csv_export

Anyway, it states:

> Token 8, csv export
> 
> This token has no UI equivalent. If true, the number cells are stored as 
> numbers. If false, the numbers are stored as text, with text delimiters.
> 
> String, either false or true. Default value : true.

So using it should quote every single cell, which is not the case.

I asked abouth this on Ask LibreOffice, with no answer. There you can find an
example to verify.

I'm on Fedora 25.

Thanks for checking.
