I wish they fix their R1C1 style csv import in their main distribution.
Embedded apps can very readily and easily churn out files with entries like
,,,,,,=r[1]c[1],=r[-2]c[-2]+r[-3]c[-3],,
which require low overheads to produce but Open Office can't open them
properly in version 1, 2, 2.1.
How long does one have to wait before simple things like this are fixed?
Its particularly nasty as patches have been available for it
for years?!!!
