Yeah - it is a must have, but an intrusive implementation would be needed.

First step would be an acknowledgment  from the developers that this is 
a feature worth implementing. Any patch that attempts to make it work is 
going to touch a lot of things.

I am not sure that it would indeed have to touch a lot of things. A
"simple" implementation could simply consist of another option in the
"past special" section to paste only the visible items in a compressed
format.

Hi Andrea

This is a known bug.

The bug was posted in 2005. Not sure if anyone is actively trying to 
fix it, but it would be a big step forward if someone could. I would 
agree it is a pretty serious limitation to an otherwise commendable 
bit of software.

    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
