Issue ID: 125526 Issue Type: DEFECT Summary: Data loss warning should be shown BEFORE saving Product: Calc Version: 4.1.1 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: save-export Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org Reporter: pedl...@gmail.com When exporting a spreadsheet with more than 256 columns to xls I get a wrong error message (see Bug #85945) only AFTER saving. I believe there should be a check on the file prior to saving and (if it applies) a warning saying: The document contains more rows and/or columns than supported in the selected format. There will be data loss. Do you still want to proceed? Yes/No This allows the user to go back and choose another format (e.g csv or ODS rev 1.1 for those who know how...) What is the point of warning the user *after* an incomplete file has been created? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue. You are watching all issue changes.
