Description sds 2007-03-02 16:20:54 UTC 
a common pattern in my work is that I have a program generate a CSV 
file, which I load into Gnumeric (or OO calc) to examine; then the file 
is regenerated and reexamined and so on and so forth ad nauseatum.
OO calc has a File->Reload menu item (which asks me for a confirmation 
to discard my edits), but gnumeric does not, so I have to manually close 
the file (confirming discarding my edits) and re-open it (finding it in 
the file browser &c).
it would be nice if gnumeric also had a Reload memu item.http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.gnumeric/4247

   I am a similar user. But I would go a step further in that I perform
formatting edits to my initial CVS file that I want to preserve when
importing a fresh set. It would be great to upload only those fields
that changed and refresh those while leaving the others unchanged
(either in content or in formatting).

We show the 4 most recently used files in the File menu.  Why isn't
that good enough?
Comment 3 sds 2007-03-02 18:33:35 UTC 
I see 5 files there.
they were indeed opened several months ago.
I don't see the files that I opened in the last few days.
Comment 4 Morten Welinder 2008-12-18 20:08:58 UTC 
The file menu really ought to work in 1.8.x.  The rest appears to be the
same as bug 74360.
