filtering and copying in gnumeric

[Andrea Taroni <andrea taroni fysik uu se>]

Dear All,

I am looking for a way to easily copy and paste filtered data in  
gnumeric. That is to say I wish to filter a data set, copy the  
resulting smaller data set, and paste it elsewhere. Whereas I would  
like to get only the filtered data when I paste, I in fact get the  
full data set. I cannot find documentation on this issue, except for a  
message on this list a while ago, which went unreplied:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnumeric-list/2005-September/msg00080.html

I would like to stress that I am very much a proponent of gnumeric,  
and prefer it to the very cumbersome alternatives there are out there.  
This does however seem to me to be a rather basic limitation of  
gnumeric.

I would appreciate any help you may give,

Andrea
