It takes a lot of time to open every file to get rid of the modelnumbers.
At this moment, I go to the category where I want to add new products, and then I copy one product 10-20 times, and then I use the productnumbers of these new items in the dbio-csv file, then I do not need to add a modelnumber But this also takes a lot of time..

Is there a way adding new products without this modelnumber?
Not currently; but I might have an idea for providing this functionality.
What if I added another command to the DbIo: ADD? That way, if you are importing a bunch of new products, you'd simply include the v_dbio_command column and specify ADD in that column for any product that wants to be added without regard to model-number duplication.

Re: Database I/O Manager (DbIo) Plugin [Support Thread]
I want to upgrade from version 1.2.1 to version 1.3.1 but the readme file does not have an upgrade section. Since the plugin causes the script to run once you click the admin, I am a bit worried about just overwriting files. Don't want to break anything by just replacing older files with new ones. Can someone please explain how to upgrade from v1.2.1 to v1.3.0 which I just downloaded? I am now running zen cart v1.5.5e.
Also, did any of the the import/export tables or fields change? My client is currently using this, so if any of the structures change it would be beneficial to know up front so I can advise the client.

Since there are neither core-file nor template-override changes in the plugin, the upgrade path is just to refresh the various modules provided by the plugin's new release.
There are no hard-coded fields within the processing, the DbIo recognizes your store's database layout and provides access to all existing fields. The plugin's installation, on upgrade, simply updates its configuration ... at a minimum to reflect the current version installed.

Goodmorning Lat9,
Do I have to install at first a new version of dbio manager for using the ADD-command?

I haven't had a chance to get that update rolling, but once my paying clients' requests have been satisfied it is on the top of my list.

I've just submitted DbIo v.4.0 to the Zen Cart plugins for review, implementing this feature as described above. I'll post back here once it's available for download.
