Having the list of sheets in a Google spreadsheet in a pop-menu (<select> tag) instead of a list of radio button.

Is your feature request related to a problem or area of OpenRefine? Please describe.
This is a small improvement to the interface to import Google Sheets data.

Describe the solution you'd like
In the import dialog, instead of showing a vertical list of radio button, just one popup-menu would save a lot a place.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Staying like this, that works.

I think instead of a "popup list", it should just be a multi-selection list that has a small scroll bar next to it? Look at how this is done: https://jqueryui.com/selectable/#default Holding CTRL makes it multi-select, although that behavior could be changed so that holding CTRL button is not needed and instead each element in the list toggles (click once for on, click again for off) Like this: https://plugins.jquery.com/ui-selectableScroll/ DEMO HERE: http://karolyi.github.io/ui-selectableScroll/demo.html

I've added an issue for that particular Jquery plugin for a toggle selecting ability. Maybe the author will improve it, otherwise, we could customize it.

I'm not sure I follow you. There can never be more than one sheet selected at the same time. It is one reason why a popup menu that just show the current choice is enough. I'm trying to avoid long list for spreadsheets with more than 10 sheets.
Why not just use https://api.jqueryui.com/1.10/menu/?

Just like the Excel importer can import multiple sheets at once, don't we want to have the same here? (I haven't checked if it is currently supported, but it sounds like this would be quite natural to make this uniform).

I will take a look at it

@wetneb : oh! Yes, indeed, the Excel importer can input many sheet in an Excel file. But no, gSheet importer can't do that. I'm not sure it would be very handy (meaning that it wouldn't save time). And, opening multiple sheet from the same import window implies a lot of change and coding, whereas this request is really a little cosmetic UI thing.

I would recommend multiple import it if it was an easy task to add multiple import as once, but I doesn't seems to be.
