Hi Nicholas,

On 2024-03-29 18:54:44, you wrote to Tommi Koivula:

I tried the same.

These shouldn't matter. If the file can't be opened, it wil say so.

Indeed.

Those have nothing to do with each other.

What I found out while testing, is that the area(s) you want to import the
description for needs to already exist in the area configuration. It won't
create new areas. Was this the case in your tests?


Bye, Wilfred.
