[Feature Request]: Add a (more comprehensible) dialog when saving multi-sheet as CSV

[MathiasBaumgartinger]

This issue is unique.

• [X] I have used the search tool and did not find an issue describing my idea.

Your idea.

Currently, when saving a document with multiple sheets using the Save as option, a dialog that says "Some data will lost. - Continue" is shown.

When using the Save option, the user will not be warned about the potential of loss sheets. Yesterday I lost ~2 hours of work because of this.

In my opinion, both cases are not optimal. CSV formats do not support multi-sheet functionality, thus saving documents as CSVs feels wrong. My suggestion would be to remove the option of "saving" CSVs and add an Export as -> CSV option. There a proper warning could be displayed. Another, maybe even more comprehensible, way would be to add a submenu when exporting to specify which sheet should be exported.

Hi @MathiasBaumgartinger! This has already been implemented for the web version of the application as an additional message. I reopened Bug 25910 for the desktop editor. Thank you for paying attention to this.
