Here's a creation process for you:
https://vid.me/pG0C
zero to 52000 tables in 2.57 seconds. Each with locked labels and formulas. Instantaneous jump to any table.
But you will not show the type work we have been doing with multiple tables all showing and being interrelated and updating automatically?
I've already shown that.
Great... then point to the video where you created it by scratch (not running a script where you have preset a single task).
I have asked you repeatedly why it is that you want a video of me typing in vim. Still no answer.
Yes... I know of that limitation of it.Snitowl
For that matter, did you ever even get a set of tables on a single sheet where you can update any table and have it flow through without flickering? If so would love to see how.
You are aware that sc only presents one sheet at a time. It is necessary to use multiple sheets to have floating tables.
This has been shown to you multiple times already, and, aside from the Mack fluff, ever functional aspect has been addressed.What do you mean by "fluff" -- can you be specific?
Has already been discussed MANY times with me giving specific examples of when I have done so. Just off the top of my head:owlSnitowlSnitowlSnitSnitowl
With YOUR suggestion, with an open source tool, we saw the hazard: an unknowing person could have lost data. Twice.
We saw you move the goalposts beyond the specifications.
Yeah, I merely noted I wanted an open file to be renamed
And that specification was met.
Very, very poorly, sure (as shown by the context I have returned... which you snipped). Really, you offered no REASONABLE solution.
You don't get to change the specification after the fact.
LOL! Yeah, no assuming you have enough common sense to figure out people do not want to lose data. Repeatedly.
Where is the "common sense" in renaming an open file?
Right... your solution for one program, not built in and never explained, and with the video with bizarre zooming (curious why you did that... does not really hurt it but just weird).Snitowl
Seriously, if you are claiming that concept goes over your head then you must be the world's worst scripter.
I have also shown you a solution that does not lose data in other open files:
https://vid.me/XLwZ
So you do not assume and take into consideration common sense with your work. Fair enough. That is just one other way we look at things differently. For me common sense and thinking in terms of risks is important and just comes naturally. For you that is not the case.owlIt is your responsibility to detail everything you expect from a solution.Snit
The assumption of basic common sense is included in everything I say.
A written specification represents the totality of the requirments.
