Re: [Libreoffice-ux-advise] new range name dialog proposal

Hi Kohei, Markus, Christoph, and everyone else,


To repeat one of Christoph's earlier questions: can you give a
specific timespan per recalculation for the common case and for a
particularly taxing document?
Let's say, the hardware is a Notebook Intel Core Duo processor, ~ 1.8
GHz, 1 GB RAM, 5200 rpm hard disk under 32-bit Windows/Linux (or a
similarly powerful machine that any of you possesses).
We could also look at a slightly newer machine, too, with a Core 2 Duo
or Core i... (I'll be happy to test any documents on my 2.6 GHz C2D
notebook).
(Christoph has just beat me to it, but I won't change the mail any more now.)

And, then, another question: is it really absolutely impossible to
validate a formula without recalculating the entire document?


From Christoph's mail:

The Help button is there, but the linked help page doesn't explain
what can operators/expressions are allowed.


Astron.

BTW: I just opened a bug for the crash I see in the Define Names dialogue:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42323 (dang it, I would
have loved to open bug 52323).
