Description jwr 2007-07-24 16:19:14 UTC
Problem description:
Some users create a .csv file with Calc and add a second sheet. 
They spend hours working on these sheets and 
then save one of these sheets as "csv". Then they close Calc. 

Expected behaviour: 
After "saving" and "saving as" users expect to reopen the complete spreadsheet,
including formatting and all (multiple) sheets.

Unexpected behaviour: 
When they reopen Calc and reload the .csv-file, 
only the active sheet at the saving point will be reopened. 
Changes to other (inactive) sheets in the spreadsheets will be lost.

Enhancement request:
Most of the problems by misunderstanding, data-losses, and ill-will 
might be avoided if the button "Save As" for limited formats (such as csv) 
would be moved to "File - Export".
This way, a user can never have the impression 
that he correctly saved all the data he is working on.

reassigning features and enhancements to user requirements@openoffice.org which
will be the default owner for those tasks (was introduced some time ago)

There is warning "Only the active sheet was saved."
