--- Comment #23 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
I'd like dev input, but believe a parsing filter set from the CSV input dialog
will always be necessary to assure correct data type handling. End of story.

However, the nuisance to users is that there is no means to capture/reapply the
CSV filter, and they must repeatedly work through the dialog, even if defaults
are correct. More so if they have a fairly complex CSV file that requires data
type settings on multiple columns.

Seems there should be a means to capture the parsing/formatting filter for
reuse against _recurring_ CSV files, even in multiple LO sessions--so filter(s)
would need to be held in user profile. 

Then adding an option to by-pass the dialog popup (for GUI use) when applying
that filter from profile would be reasonable. And probably would want something
for use with CLI conversions.
