Description urandom 2008-10-28 23:18:50 UTC
In the chard wizard - data range help, it's stated that in order to select
multiple data ranges, one must manually add a semicolon after picking the
previous data range and the next one. There are multiple problems with this
approach. First up, it's mostly a wild guess of what the delimeter is, unless
you want to dig into the middle of a help paragraph that's buried somewhere.
Second - you have to specifically insert it after pressing the 'select data
range' button (that is not mentioned in the help), because adding it before that
will cause the select data range dialog to wipe out the previous data range.
Third, in order to add the delimeter, you have to unselect the previous range,
since it is automatically selected. And fourth, it's not exacltly easy to use.
So why not make it so that if the user is holding ctrl (or another modifier)
while selecting cells/ranges, the selection should be added to the current data
range. This seems a log easier (and probably more intuitive, since a lot of
people are used to selecting multiple items in various programs by holding ctrl).
