How to import xlsx into Ethercalc running on Sandstorm? #276

Open ovizii opened 8 years ago

ovizii commented 8 years ago

I've read through the issues here and apparently one is supposed to be able to drag/drop an xlsx file onto Ethercalc.

I have tried this a few times and every-time I drag a file onto Etehrcalc my browser asks me if I want to stay on the page or leave, that's all.

Hi! Currently the homepage of http://ethercalc.org/ allows drag-and-drop importing but not the Sandstorm version. That is clearly an omission.

UX wise, do you think having a "Drop a .csv, .ods, or a .xlsx file here to import it" hover time next to "Sheet1" in the bottom row works?

hm, that could work but you definitely need to place import and export close to each other. I actually had to ask here on github where to find the export function, that downwards arrow is well hidden :-)

So how about changing the downward arrow into an arrow that points up and down and when clicked you can select import or export?
