Description jamescrompton 2007-02-15 10:47:23 UTC 
When a spreadsheet is opened everything is recalculated, which can be
time-consuming. If the sheet has no external links, or none that are
automatically updated, this is not necessary, since the values are saved with
the formulae in the file. Therefore:

Provide an option for suppressing recalculation on open file.

Hi,

sorry, but this isn't a good idea. If no re-calculation is made on loading, a
simple hack in the content.xml would show the wrong result of a calculation and
could therefore cause the loss of money, ...

@mmp
Matthias what's the opinion of UX here ?

If there are security concerns about disabling calculation, how about at least
allowing disabling of 'Adapt row height', which is usually most time-consuming
step in calculation.
Comment 3 jamescrompton 2007-10-18 16:59:44 UTC 
Alternatively, allow disabling of recalculation when a file is password
protected, since xml hacking is then not possible.

I am no longer officially active in OOo. Please take over.
Comment 5 Edwin Sharp 2014-01-12 12:17:10 UTC 
If disable adapt row height has no implications other than saving time this is a good idea.
