Hi Lionel,
I'm working on a new feature in Base again. It's just a little user
helper feature to make available the direct import of an csv file into
table, without open Calc and copy&paste the content from it to Base. I
already have the plan to implement it and it seems to me that it will
work not just with csv files but all Calc compatible format (in this
case only the first sheet will be imported, but later it can be
extended). I will use up the code which lies under the OLE-object
feature of Writer, which already contains the csv import.
The only question is where this feature would be reachable. I have
two ideas and I think all of these two places should be used:
1. Table view -> "Tasks". Add a 4th option like "Import Table From
File...". This point contains all other places which are almost the
duplicates of this "Tables" list (e.g. Insert menu with label "Table
(Import)..." ).
2. Table view -> "Tables" -> context menu. The label can be "Import
Table...".
If you agree with these points than I send a mail to the ux mailing
list for a new icon which can be displayed in the "Tasks" list and in
the menu.
Best Regards,
Tamás
Pardon me for making a comment. Base can connect to a CSV file now
using the Base wizard. It seems like what you want to do could be made
part of this wizard. At least this makes more sense to me since it is
creating or modifying a database.
