Description clockwerx 2007-01-17 06:27:46 UTC 
Every time I open a CSV, I get prompted to format the stupid thing the way I want.
I just hit ok. I have never in my life reformatted the CSV - maybe I've done
that *after*, while 'editing'.

For users like me:
 1. If I use the open dialog, I should be given an option to 'launch format
helper' (checkbox) / advanced. This would prompt me as it does now.
 2. There should be a 'reformat' type menu option, which launches the same UI as #1
 3. The current UI prompt should include a 'use these settings by default' checkbox
 4. Once I've set my defaults, I should never be pestered again unless I
explictly 'erase defaults'.

Oh, and the 'use these settings as default' should default to checked!
