A menu for searching the document and then the sheet in the document and then the place in the sheet - the way could be longer than copy 'n paste -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51872 --- Comment #2 from Ulf Zibis ulf.zi...@gmx.de 2012-07-09 11:47:23 PDT --- (In reply to comment #1) Copy 'n paste is the way many people work. In the case of importing a sub-range of a sheet, I can agree, but not in case of importing a whole table. Examples: - To import MS-Access or MS-Excel data source into LibO Calc, one has NOT to first open the document by help of the original application, in worst case, MS Office is not installed on the machine. - To import a CSV data source into LibO Calc, one has just to open the CSV file, and an assisting dialogue is automatically opened. - Importing favourites from IE to Firefox shouldn't work by Copy 'n paste. - In rare case, user may not have installed LibO Calc, but wants to import data from ods document. To me it's very inconvenient to first open LibO calc, selecting the object, open LibO Base, creating a new DB and pasting the object there (after I have consulted the manual, to find the instructions for IMPORT in chapter BINDING :-( ). Binding and importing is a kind of similar action, e.g. handled in same chapter in Manual, which is solely titled Database Binding. So why not treat those actions similar. Ideally you would add a 4th choice in the New Database-assistant. And last but not least, it's no lapse to have several ways redundantly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Furthermore we have to document everything so redundancy also leads to redundant documentation which is all very time consuming for such a new and small project (relative to other projects of course). In this case I'm going to mark this as LOWEST priority ENHANCEMENT. The amount of work is substantial, the number of users who would benefit seem to be limited and there is already a way to do what you want (ie. you acknowledge that this would just been an alternative way to do something). Thanks for the suggestions, we'll see if one of the more experienced developers can take a look at this once other bugs are taken care of. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Just to add a 4th radio button to the New Database-assistant, and to defer to the still existing Table Copy-wizard. Thanks for the suggestions, we'll see if one of the more experienced developers can take a look at this once other bugs are taken care of. This sounds reasonable. I agree to priority: lowest.
