Hi everyone,
I'm wondering -- is there a good reason for creating a spreadsheet with
three sheets by default instead of with one sheet?
I feel that creating three sheets by default unnecessarily increases the
document size and confuses readers of the document, as they have to look
through all three sheets to see if there is additional content -- and
they often don't anymore, as they're used to those two sheets being
empty. That means they're potentially missing out on data should the
creator have chosen to actually use those two additional sheets.
Could we make the default one sheet?
As for the file size, here's a test I've just done (Lib0 3.3.4):
Open LibO Calc. Enter "A" in Sheet1.A1,
then
Save as-is (3 default sheets), the file size is 7,413 B
Delete the 2 unused sheets, then save. Now the file size is 7,398 B
-> is a 15 B difference such a big deal?
As for the users' confusion: yes, it might be. OTOH, I think it might
also help users understand a spreadsheet can hold more than one sheet.
As a result, I'd stay with the current 3 default sheets scheme.
