+100 for this guys, a simple check box in the import dialogue:

[ ] Apply this settings automatically when opening CSV files.

would be a win-win solution, both for people opening tons of CSVs with the same
formatting and those opening lots of differently formatted ones. You could have
it reset on restarting LibreOffice, or an improved solution would be to have a
setting in the Options.

My problem is that the issue where the dialogue appears in an already open LO
window is still there for KDE (LO v7.0.1.2), and this usually brings me to
another virtual desktop and upon clicking OK it opens it there. So then I have
to take the new window back to the desktop where I was working ...

This is so painful that I'm considering not using CSV files altogether and
switching to XLS for saving my data in Pandas (I prefer ODS but members of my
team use Windows and I'm not sure about MS Office support) But this is for the
future, I still have lots of CSV files from past work.

I see in the thread that this issue has sadly stepped on some nerves and that's
not good. I really feal that collaborating to improve LO and free software in
general is what will keep making it more attractive to an increasing number of
users : )
