Request: option to not have column type in "copy with names"
Posted: Tue 21 Jun 2016 03:47
I hope I've just missed the configuration setting for this, because it's duplicate functionality. But I can't find the option. So can I please have the option to turn off the new behaviour?
Back in the day "copy with names" was on the right-click menu rather than in a sub-menu, and it did not include the column type. I liked that. I can live with the sub-menu, but having to manually remove the types when I want to work with the data is really, really annoying. Could you possibly make those a new row rather than concat'ing them onto the column name. Or at least add a space, so I can regex them away?
Pasting it into Excel doesn't help. Pasting it into a text editor, removing the types, then pasting it into Excel is slightly less annoying than editing it directly in Excel.
That looks awful to me.
"copy column names and types" does what I expect, and even has the space separators. Ideally you'd leave that as a special option for people who want it, and take the types off the "copy data" option.
