Calc: Pre-View Spreadsheet Filtering

  • Preparing patches of sheet view functionality to be merged into master / co-25.04
    • all initial patched in co-25.04, same as master
    • missing - sync and unsorting patches, which don’t cover all cases yet.
  • Implemented syncing when sorted
    • stopped with this, working of change restriction for sheet view and sync breaking
    • TODO - handle column sorting, undo and sync to multiple sheet views (currently this scenario is not tested and supported yet)
  • Restricting changes
    • added sc::SheetViewAccessTester - implements the check if the sheet view can run a specific operation
    • used the sc::SheetViewAccessTester in many operations (need to add to even more)
      • would love to have all operations in one place or done in a specific way, something to think about in the future
    • added synched flag to SheetView, when not synched the changes will not go to the default view and other sheet views anymore
    • added an initial list of operations that can’t be done in a sheet view (i.e. sparkline can’t be added)
    • and a list that will unsync the sheet views (i.e. default view will add a pivot table)
    • added a resync operation
    • WIP
