CSV viewer

[augustwester]

Due to the lack of a proper CSV viewing experience in STU (i.e. a visual table), I often find myself downloading CSV files to my local machine and then using csvlens to inspect their contents. I would much prefer to have a CSV visualizer built in to STU, such that I never had to leave the app.

Yes, this is one of the features I personally imagine would be useful.
Of course, I think it would be very difficult to implement a rich CSV viewer (one that allows you to freely move cells, sort, filter, etc.).

I'm not sure if it meets your needs, but I'm considering enhancing the preview function to be more general-purpose. Something like displaying a downloaded file converted and formatted using an external command (or built-in default processing).

By this, I assume you mean that the file would be downloaded by STU in the background and placed in some kind of temporary directory before being visualized by a third party tool? I guess that could be a decent solution that would offload a lot of the work of visualizing different file formats 👍
