Hi Lionel,

I'm working on a new feature in Base again. It's just a little user helper feature to make available the direct import of an csv file into table, without open Calc and copy&paste the content from it to Base. I already have the plan to implement it and it seems to me that it will work not just with csv files but all Calc compatible format (in this case only the first sheet will be imported, but later it can be extended). I will use up the code which lies under the OLE-object feature of Writer, which already contains the csv import. The only question is where this feature would be reachable. I have two ideas and I think all of these two places should be used: 1. Table view -> "Tasks". Add a 4th option like "Import Table From File...". This point contains all other places which are almost the duplicates of this "Tables" list (e.g. Insert menu with label "Table (Import)..." ). 2. Table view -> "Tables" -> context menu. The label can be "Import Table...".

If you agree with these points than I send a mail to the ux mailing list for a new icon which can be displayed in the "Tasks" list and in the menu.

Best Regards,
Tamás

Pardon me for making a comment. Base can connect to a CSV file now using the Base wizard. It seems like what you want to do could be made part of this wizard. At least this makes more sense to me since it is creating or modifying a database.
