Description Jay Philips 2014-11-10 03:05:17 UTC

I've been told that there is no uno command for the thousand separator, but it would be useful for such a button to be created. There is already code for this in the sidebar (i believe its in /sc/source/ui/sidebar/NumberFormatPropertyPanel.cxx and the checkbox is in /sc/uiconfig/scalc/ui/sidebarnumberformat.ui), so a simple toggle button would be needed to be created for this.

The alternative approach would be to create a copy of .uno:NumberFormatDecimal and modify it to set decimal places to 0.

Hi Jay,

Do you also look at the side bar? 
Easy access to direct formatting number format is already available there.

Yes i am aware it is there in the sidebar, but with the sidebar still disabled by default in Calc, many people wouldnt see it. :D

If you think it's worth (and reasonable possible) to add another button, despite the fact that in the nearby future the side bar will be promoted ...

Fine request - moving to NEW.

The bar for enhancement requests are quite low guys - if it seems at all reasonable let's just mark as NEW. If someone implements the change, great, if no one does, well that's fine too. 

If UX doesn't want this implemented they can of course close it as WONTFIX but it should be some kind of consensus and not one person irritated about the proposed change.

Jay - let's set all of your enhancement pertaining to UX to ux-advice instead of the component. This way the team is aware of the proposal.
