Now you say it, it makes sense. I don't think that a separation between save and export is bad, but that many others users probably question as little as I did. IMHO CSV saving warning needs to be improved. Cuurent bahaviour: Save command -> Save window (name, type, location) -> warning window about not using *.ods (if not disabled) -> export window for csv -> warning that only one sheet was saved (that warning can be disabled by default) Suggested behaviour: In step >Save window (name, type, location)< there should be a red box next to the save button and a text that says "This file format does not support multiple sheets". 'Only one sheet was saved' at the very end does not say anything for the average user _why_ it was not saved. It can also be missinterpreted as it can also mean that only one _file_ was saved (why should you even save more, so everything is fine(?)) The real kicker is that you can disable to show the error message by default. I question if this should even be possible. Maybe "never show again *in this session*, but a powerful setting like this should not be in a position where it can be clicked on by accident. If you want to disable it in general, LO should force you to go into the settings. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
