Open Office Calc Enhancement - stop pestering me and do what I say

Every time I open a CSV, I get prompted to format the stupid thing the way I want.
I just hit ok. I have never in my life reformatted the CSV - maybe I've done
that *after*, while 'editing'.

For users like me:
  • If I use the open dialog, I should be given an option to 'launch format helper' (checkbox) / advanced. This would prompt me as it does now.
  • There should be a 'reformat' type menu option, which launches the same UI as #1
  • The current UI prompt should include a 'use these settings by default' checkbox
  • Once I've set my defaults, I should never be pestered again unless I explictly 'erase defaults'.

Open office calc enhancement - find it!

Say I've searched for "beans", "frogs" and "fish".

I hit ctrl + f, and I start to retype 'bea'.

Open office should autocomplete for me, and show all previous search keywords
starting with "bea".

To see how this would work, go to your location bar and type "goo".
You'll see google.com come up, as well as others.

FIXED Open Office Calc Bug - stop stealing my selection

  1. Highlight several cells
  2. Ctrl + f(find and replace)
  3. Check entire cells
  4. Advanced options
  5. Check 'current selection only'
  6. Find something that isn't there, ie: data = "aa","bb","cc"; search = "dd"

Expected:
  • You are notified that you have no matches
  • Your selection remains intact

Actual:
  • You are notified that you have no matches
  • Selection is lost

Open Office Calc Enhancement - shut up about CSV already

When I save a spreadsheet to CSV, only the active sheet is saved. The first time
I ever did it, I might have cared about the warning, but now I do not.

Please allow me, in a similar fashion to firefox, to elect to never see this
message again via a checkbox. It should, ideally, default to checked.

Open Office Calc Enhancement - read my mind with text selection

This applies to 2.0.4

When you have a selection of information, Calc should be clever enough to automatically determine you want to find & replace within that selection.
It should also be very easy to correct that assumption if you have highlighted cells, but want to find & replace in the entire document.

  1. Highlight information
  2. CTRL F (find and replace)

Expected:
  • The 'advanced options' UI is expanded
  • Only in current selection is automatically checked
  • Since advanced options is expanded, you can really easily uncheck 'current selection only'
