This should be a build-in function in Calc!

 Hi mpraunegger!

 I agree with you. Please, take a look at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36466.

 Best regards,

Dear contributor,

thank you a lot for your very useful feature. This should be added to the basic functionality of calc, since it is absolutely essential.

Feature request:
Add the "Copy only visible cells" option to the context menu ("right click menu") so that you can quickly select the rows or colums, right click on them and select the option. This would be the cherry on the cake :-)

Thanks again a lot!

 Hi lautenbacher!

 Many thanks for your message! Please, take a look at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36466. Maybe this function will be avaliable in a future release of Calc.

 About you feature request, it would be great! I don't now if it's possible at this time, but I will check the control of context menu by the code.

 Best regards,
 Gustavo Pacheco

Bonjour,

Very nice and useful extension.
Unfortunately it locks LibreOffice 3.5.0(RC1) (infinite loop ?) when used.
Can it be fixed ?
Merci!

Hi Vincent!

 I have checked 'Copy only visible cells' extension on LibreOffice 3.5.0 RC3/Ubuntu Linux. It works fine for me. Could you check if it works ok for you, please?

Thanks!
