I've just submitted v1.2.0 of the DbIo to the plugins' area and will post back here when it's available for download.
This version contains a major restructuring of the Tools->Database I/O Manager layout to reduce clutter and make currently-selected handler the "focus" of all actions. It also includes a new concept: export customization. The export-customization, currently available for the Orders and Products handlers, allows you to select only the fields that you "want to see" and the order in which those fields are exported.
The following changes are included, identified by their GitHub repository issue number:
#59: Enable custom exports
#76: Restructure Database I/O Manager layout
#83: Maintain last-selected file's location
#84: Don't automatically render a handler's filters (performance)
#85: Enable download or removal of DbIo-generated logs
#86: Add a handler to support manufacturers' import/export
#87: Ensure that character fields' defined length is enforced
#88: Use a text-link instead of an icon to identify that import results are available
#89: Reduce "nuisance" DbIo logs
v1.2.0 is now available for download from the Zen Cart plugins.
I've just submitted v1.2.1 to the plugins for review. This version contains the changes associated with the following issues (identified by their GitHub issue number):
#91: Back-ticks required around database field names.
#92: Enable special handling for handlers with fixed-field headers.
#93: Check for the php-mbstring extension; message if not installed.

I guess I've just missed the "Install Instructions" link and or txt file.
There IS a "README.MD" but I'm not sure how to open that or What program to use to open the ".MD" readme file.
help?
Within the zip-file, there's a /docs/dbio directory that has a readme.html ... that's what you're looking for!
You've positioned this as a better option to easy populate. I've installed this as part of an upgrade of a clients site because of that. One feature of easy populate that appears to be missing is the ability to add products. Did I miss this? I see the REMOVE function. Is this only planned to update existing products?
Oh and I really like the templates and the ability to create new ones. A suggestion is to add v_dbio_command to the pull down so it can be added to a template
Huh? Not sure which version of EP to which you are referring, but if there is a version of EP that *doesn't* support adding a product, then it is definitely defunct. EP4 does this by providing a new line of data that has a new primary key (default is products_model, but also has the ability to not identify a products_model or use a duplicate products_model and instead use the products_id or whatever is decided to be the primary key).
