--- Comment #3 from Ramon Rakow <[email protected]> ---
So you think that it's acceptable that someone can:

1. Open a CSV
2. Make a change e.g. highlighting
3. Save -- read the warning that says that some formatting may be lost by
continuing to save in csv, save anyway
4. Notice that none of their highlighting appears to have been lost by saving
5. Proceed to work on the file for hours
6. Save again and close
7. Come back the next day, all of that work is gone

Or in a different scenario:
1. Open a CSV
2. Make some changes that are preserved by the CSV format
3. Save -- proceeding past the warning
4. Pass the station to wife / coworker / boss, who makes a bunch of changes
that are not preserved by the CSV format, who then saves and closes the file,
losing all their work and blaming you and libreoffice

If you want to avoid too many nag popups, there is an easy solution here. When
the editor window, which is currently displaying data that is not saved to the
file (be it highlighting, conditional formatting, whatever) is closed-- that is
when a warning is most pertinent. Because that is the point where work is
irretrievably lost. It is not a nag to receive one extra warning when you
attempt to close the window. If there is unsaved work, you already receive a
warning-- if you have last saved to a file format that doesn't preserve the
features libreoffice is displaying, that is another kind of unsaved work!
