I have a project (say project.gumeric) that requires me to export a spreadsheet to a csv file (say foo.csv), process it externally (to create bar.csv) and then add the results to the original project.   Several things don't seem right:

1.   When I export to foo.csv, the original project is renamed to "foo.csv - gnumeric" (at least that's what the window title becomes).    To be sure I'm prompted for a new file name when/if I try to save the original spreadsheet, but I don't think that I should have to do this.  I've exported the data, the GUI contains the original project (5 sheets).

2.  One of the project has a spreadsheet containg data from bar.csv (e.g., like =[bar.csv]Sheet1!A1).   I open gnumeric as:

gnumeric project.gnumeric bar.csv

Things work as expected but occasionally I've saved bar.csv (either intentionally or by accident).  The default seems to be to save it as bar.gnumeric.   When it does this it renames all the file references in project.gnumeric to [bar.gnumeric]Sheet1!A1, etc.   This is not what I want, since the external processing creates bar.csv.  Worse, if bar.gnumeric is deleted, the next invocation fails to fill in the spreadsheet correctly, even though bar.csv is present and updated.

3.  This may already exist, but I'd like a reload feature; namely,  if I update bar.csv externally, I'd like gnumeric to be able to read the new version.   The only way I've been able to do this is to read bar.csv multiple times.    What would be even better would be to have gnumeric "watch" the file and reload automatically, or at least present a popup asking if it should do so.
