Miguel, let's try to see things from the user's perspective.
> Link to external data it's not for import csv files, they are raw text.
1. How is the user supposed to know that? Do you think the end user cares about
the distinction between CSV and HTML tables? No. The user just wants the data.
2. If "Link to External Data" [is] not for import[ing] CSV files, then why does
the Text Import dialog appears after I paste a CSV URL and press Enter in this
dialog? If CSV URLs are not supposed to be imported that way, then the dialog
should show an error.
3. What if the user wants to import CSV content from a URL? For example Yahoo!
Finance offers CSV export - http://www.jarloo.com/yahoo_finance/
> Then it can be updated through Menu/Edit/Link
> Even they can be treated as a spreadsheet, referencing it directly.
That's good for local files, but not for files that change contents and are
accessible via a URL, such as Yahoo! Finance exports.
If you really don't think this is a bug, please consider allowing CSV URLs as a
feature request.
