--- Comment #3 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #2) > I suspect the infobar would be annoying to many users. And if you load a lot > of data in any tool you have to do sanity checks anyway. If you import a *CSV* (or TSV, or any of the *normal* text files of this kind, generated by vast majority of software), which use a *single* separator inside, then no matter how many separators you selected in the dialog - only one of them must be used actually by Calc; if Calc happened to meet two of the selected separators - it means that the import *went wrong*, and it is a *destructive import error*. This is the whole essence of the issue. If "many users" would see it, it means that many users import their data and break it, and *do not notice it*! > And I wonder what threshold you have in mind. Something like more than 0.01% > "common separator" in the document. No threshold. A single extra separator means the error occurred. *Especially* when it's a single occurrence, it's most possible that the user will not notice it somewhere in the middle of a huge data. > Why not do the opposite with the argument that only a few data points are > separated by semicolon and you haven't check it. I totally do not understand you. > Last but not least what impact would such a check have on the performance? None. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
