Folks, I recently had trouble importing a text file into Gnumeric 1.2.13 thatmight have gone more smoothly if there was an option to set a userdefined column width. The table in question was formated like Table 1 below. This smallerexample imports corectly with the space delimited option, but the realtable I was working with had 1325 rows and 1325 columns. I compiledGnumeric with SHEET_MAX_COLS 8X8x8x8 to get the necessary columnsbeyond the default 256. Importing the 1325 X 1325 table using the space delimited option,including "see two separators as one" would run to completion, butinspection of the resulting sheet revealed that many columns hadsimply been dropped. All the rows were present.
I believe to recall that with the current configurable textimport you can import only (some of) the first 4 times 256 columns. This should ideally be unlimited and if limited than restricted to a multiple of SHEET_MAX_COLS. It may also be the case that not all columns were selected for import in that dialog.
