Notes Client / Core/Frameworks (Incl. sidebar, rich text editor): New view export/import formats (*.XLS)

Let us export and import to MS-Excel (*.xls) format.

(Many people don't know what a "Tabular-Text" or „Comma-Separated-File“ is.)

 

And while you are at it:  

• Why not also to *.ODF and *.PDF and *.HTML ?
• Automatically add the proper extension to the file. (The users don't know that WK4 is for Lotus 1-2-3)
• And it would be nice if we could get access to this export-functions through LotusScript as well

There is actually an other stupid bug in the export dialog:

After you open the export-dialog you can actually set the "Save as type"-field which has the default value "Structured text".  If you change this to "Calendar file (.ics)" and enter a file name, then it works fine and you are presented with the next dialog for iCal-Export. However if you select an existing iCal file from the file system,  then the "Save As Type"-field is automatically changed to "Calendar file (.ics)", but if you now continue you are presented with the "Structured text"-dialog. (Even that it looks like that the type has been changed, it is actually not the case and you are still exporting structured texts.)
