Autofill defect in 641d, 1.0
Last modified: 2006-01-11 18:02:44 UTC
If the entry in the cell is 2 numbers separated by a slash, autofill increments the first, eg 25/047 becomes 26/047, then 27/047 etc. It will be more natural to increment the last component, so that 25/047 should become 25/048, then 25/049, etc.
Hi Falko, one4you
The problem is still o/s in 643. The current rule seems to be, if leading number, increment that, else increment trailing number. There is an oddity in that entries of the type A40-025 are DECREMENTED not incremented. For normal use (considering schedules, catalogues etc), I suggest that the rule should be always to INCREMENT the TRAILING number. Could exceptions be introduced, perhaps by right-click on the drag handle, to enable (a) action on leading number (default no), and (b) decrement (default increment) ?
