Bug ID: 151007
Summary: When opening a CSV file, default to CSV spec
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.0 all versions
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: eyalr...@gmx.com
Currently, when opening a CSV file, the parsing dialog has its options set to
(IIANM) the last settings for parsing any textual data.
Instead, when opening a CSV file (that is, with a ".csv" extension or with a
"text/csv" MIME type) - the settings should correspond to the CSV spec, in RFC
4180. So, for example, only a comma separates records, and the string delimiter
is double-quotes (").
The _second_ a later times the same CSV file is opened, this may be relaxed to
the previous settings for that file, but perhaps that's a separate bug, so
let's start with just the default.
Settings which are orthogonal to the CSV spec should behave... actually, I'm
not entirely sure what to recommend here.
