I have hundreds of items in MaraTick and I've exported them and created a .csv file. I can't figure out how to import it into Multilist! I see the import button, of course, but I can't get the file selector to see my export file. Is there some special extension or location that will get this to work?

Thanks in advance.
The problem with CSVs is that they are very generic but don't have a good way of specifying what schema they are. Multilist is designed to be able to import CSVs it has exported but that is it.

It should show csv files in the browser. I'm assuming instead that they problem is you can't find the right folder? I was lazy and am not using a user-friendly import/export dialog. I just now filed myself a bug to fix this. A work around is to hit Ctrl+h in the import/export dialog, click the left side's "Nokia n900" and the "Documents" etc folders are actually ".documents" (the "." prefix means hidden, Ctrl+h shows hidden).

I'm leaving for Meego Conference soon but if you could give me the a description of the columns (usually the first line of the csv) I try to fix the dialogs and add support for that version of csvs.
