Folks,

The improvements to the "Text CSV" importer are nice, *except* when importing 
fixed-width files.  Then it seems to be impossible to locate the breaks at the 
correct place.  When you add a column break, the text "jumps" as much as 20 
characters.

This was ocassionally a problem in the old "Text CSV" importer, but seems to 
have become much worse.  

Try opening the attached file as "text CSV", and defining it using the "fixed 
width" importer, and you'll see what I mean.

Hi Josh,

interesting document. ;-)

Hi Daniel,

On Linux it's a little tricky to place the colum markers, as some
spaces seems to be not correctly interpreted, this means some of them
shows up indented.

Best regards

Frank

Guys, 
 
This issue seems to be largely resolved in 1.1 on KDE 3.0.
