Re: PDesk CSV plugin ALPHA for testing

Hi Tom,

thanks a lot for your efforts, here is some feedback.
I downloaded the alpha zip file, unzipped and copied the files into 
the 'plugins' folder.
I opened PDesk, then created a blank project and imported test6.csv 
which I can see well on the screen.
I have read the list of bugs so I will not report them again. I hope 
that when they are fixed I can export a project (csv) then re-import 
the saved file and retreive the project as it was. Also, I hope the 
csv format will be compatible with other applications especially 
excel.

One thing that bothers me is the selection requested when doing an 
import. Why having to chose the 'task type'? If I import a project, I 
want to import ALL types of tasks and as they were when I exported 
them.

thanks again for your work,
