Description rogerathome 2002-10-14 21:45:48 UTC 
To increase the user friendlyness of the autofilter a select for -Blanks- and
-NonBlanks- would be very nice so the Standard filter is not needed for these
selections.

Hi Bettina, one4you
Comment 3 bettina.haberer 2003-12-03 17:32:51 UTC 
Hello Niklas, this enhancement increases the usage-recognition for
users of competing spreadsheets.
Please give approval for this evaluated OO.o 2.0 flagged issue. 
If you confirm with the target OO.o 2.0, then please keep it on your
owner (or the owner of the concerning developer) for implementation.
In case you want this issue for 'OOo Later', then please reset the
target milestone. If you decline the issue finally, please set the
resolution to 'Wontfix' (but do not close). In case of 'OOo Later' or
'Wontfix' please reset it on Bettina's owner. Thank you.

This is not on the list of features that we're going to do for 2.0. We need to
focus on the enhancements from the PCD document.
Comment 6 gregmiller 2005-11-18 00:32:25 UTC 
This feature is used by regular spreadsheet users quite often (we use this every
day in our company).  Many people can not understand why they have to go through
the extra steps involved in setting up a Standard filter, when Excel has these
options right on the Autofilter menu.  Considering the massive amout of work
that has been done to make OpenOffice more user friendly, it is a shame that
this issue has slipped through the cracks.

autofiler empty/nonempty patch from Novell
Comment 10 martinschaffner 2006-09-09 17:55:18 UTC 
The Novel-modified version of OpenOffice.org 2.0.3 that comes with OpenSuse has this issue fixed. The 
patch is in the source-RPM in the file:
OOO_2_0_3_suse/ooo-build-2.0.3.0/patches/src680/sc-autofilter-empty-nonempty.diff

I attached it in the preceding comment.

Perhaps more of these patches might be useful for the OOO project?

Hi Niklas,

please have a look at this one.

Set to correct owner for enhancements.
Comment 13 frank 2006-09-11 13:02:26 UTC 
As it is a PATCH now, development have to decide or at least have a look at the
patch. So it's up to NN.
