There is a common thread in the various posts on "complete installation package" and results of computations cells. This is that it is sometimes important to know how a package behaved at some particular point. This is clearly not very important or relevant for most users, but for some of us it can be. I don't think it is something I expect the development team to include as a default, but it would be nice to have easy (or at least easier) ways to save this kind of information.
Possibilities? - As I'm planning to work on a build-bot for gnumeric (and R), I'm thinking of looking into a static binary i.e., include everything. Not what most folk want to have cluttering their hard drive, but maybe OK on an archive DVD. And also folk with old distros could benefit from such a binary, though it would be a bit of a heavy download. Has anyone attempted this? I'd appreciate knowing and also any tips. - Possibly a way to save the results cells with the XML. Could a Python script perhaps do this e.g., copy to an added worksheet or worksheets "as values"? I'm not a Python programmer, but if someone has something similar, could probably kludge it. There are definitely times when I could use such an add-in, and I suspect that it is not terribly complicated to do things that way, but this approach would double the number of worksheets. Just my 2 cents (here where I'm visiting in Perth WA, that gets rounded to zero! There's no penny. Sigh.)
