Split "Move/Copy Sheet" item in sheet tab menu

#1

Reasonably, I have been asked by the developers to gain support from a wider body of users for a change in the user interface to Calc.

My request is *bug 68582 <https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68582>*

The change might be ok, but in which way does that solve your problem? The target is overwritten in any case. Well yes, if you think you still are keeping the source and overwrite the target once more, then there is a difference. I have not seen it being a problem, but am not against the change. /Kaj

It is that the *default* behaviour is to overwrite the target (and no warning is given).

Ok, I am on. This confirmation is reasonable and desirable. But the split copy/move does not change this in itself. /Kaj

Hi,

I have not seen it being a problem, but am not against the
change.

I have not seen it as a problem, either. Every Calc user (and every
Excel user) is used to it since decades. :wink:

And I do not support changes, that do not result in a *major*
improvement. Any change requires much effort, not only changing the
code and doing QA, but also localisation, changing documentation,
books, and so on.

Let´s fix bugs instead! :slight_smile:

Hi :slight_smile:
Sorry this is sooo late!! When stuff goes wrong like that remember that if
you haven't saved yet you can always undo or just "not save" to get back to
where you were. If necessary you can always "Save As" and add a version
number and then recover the appropriate sheet from an older version! Easy
to forget all that when something goes this wrong tho!

Also if you have not yet closed the document then you might be able to undo
(i've got a feeling it wont undo tab changes).

Plus if you have any old version of your file, such as on a usb-stick,
emailed to yourself or anyone, on a cd/dvd or Cloud like GDrive or anywhere
then you might be able to get most of that old sheet back.

You can "Protect" sheets and things sometimes but that might be more
troublesome than it's worth

Good luck hunting for an old copy of the lost sheet/tab!
