Changing Gnumeric text import export default settings

Question

I am using the Gnumeric spreadsheet to import, update, then export csv files delimited by the pipe "|" separator. Gnumeric by default saves it's files as xml via its .gnumeric file extension. Therefore a user needs to import files via Data > Get External Data > Import Text file. Then the user must navigate the wizard to select import options. These default settings are not "remembered" the next time a user imports a file. The process is supposed to be similar for exporting (via Save As > Text (Configurable), but I did not see the export wizard.

Is there a way to change Gnumeric's DEFAULT settings so it will import/export .csv files with the pipe separator and treat all data as text (not general)?

Answer 1

There is no way to do that at the moment. The easiest way to implement this feature might be a new plugin.
