Tickets/Topics

 * Move or add "View PDF after export" box to Save as dialog shown
   upon PDF export
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166149
   + MS Word shows the option in the save dialog (Gabor)
   + -1 to add more options to a standard dialog (Heiko, Jan)
   + Export as PDF dialog is the right place (Stuart)
   + keep as it is (Bogdan)
 => resolve WF

 * text import dialog -- ENHANCEMENT add regExp separator such as numeric
   and dates
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168639
   + date/time conversion is tricky; niche user request, could be solved
     per sed, awk, or perl, etc. (Stuart)
   + regular expression could be used; dup of bug 114199 (Eyal)
   + tendency to reject the regex separator idea as over-complicated (Heiko)
 => WF

 * Show only change bars when viewing tracked changes
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168381
   + show insertions/deletions in the margin (Heiko)
     + needs to get enhanced to specifically cover this use case (Eyal)
     + could be "Only Indicator in Margin" as another option (Heiko)
   + nothing similar in Word; would close it (Bogdan)
 => NEEDINFO whether the existing inline indicator is sufficient and
    what other tool provides this

 * Autofill by double-click on a formula should fill till the end row of
   the dependencies (EDITING)
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167798
   + autofill should consider adjacent columns/rows and work across sheets
   + alternative workflows possible (Collin)
   + resource heavy (Ady)
   + neither working as expected in Excel; WF (Bogdan)
 => WF/NAB
