CSV export [edit: NOT] broken #577

Closed noyannus closed 10 months ago

noyannus commented 10 months ago

On exporting as .csv, nothing happens. No file appears in the exported-to directory.

To reproduce: try exporting the tutorial as .csv.

Seen on a virtualbox VM running

-- Kubuntu 23.10 KDE Plasma 5.27.8 KDE Frameworks 5.110.0 Kernel 6.5.0-14-generic (64bit) X11

with TreeSheets Dec 18 2023 wxwidgets 3.3.0

-- virtualbox VM running Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon Cinnamon 5.8.4 Kernel 5.15.0.-91-generic

with TreeSheets 1.0.2 Here, on one time only, a file was exported that contained 1592\00.

-- virtualbox VM running openSUSE Tumbleweed 64bit GNOME 45.2 Wayland Kernel 6.6.7-1-default with TreeSheets Dec 18 2023 wxwidgets 3.3.0

-- on real machine running Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20231225 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.113.0 Qt Version: 5.15.11 Kernel Version: 6.6.6-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11

So it's not the OS, the desktop, the window manger, nor the kernel.

Edit: this is the case with nested cells in the layout, not with a not nested layout.

Check what it says in the status bar.

Ahhh! Lightbulb moment. Thank you.

That leads me to think more about it. A suggestion: the explanations for the export format in the status bar are only visible when the cursor is in the export submenu. That is easy to miss (at least for me :-) ) when going too fast through the menus.

Would it be possible to keep the explanation visible until the file save dialog closes? Or have it repeated on the dialog footer (space is enough there)? Or provide some feedback, say, as an error dialog, or by disabling the csv export item when the layout is not flat?

Closing as this is obviously not a serious issue.

Have a good 2024!
