Re: problem importing (or saving locally) csv files
I think Chad (author of EP4) needs to reformat its function to use TAB DELIMITED rather than CSV.
CSV as a delimiting format is not ideal, because so much of the product description text can contain commas and double quotes, which confuses the field delimiters.
He has indicated this is possible on the thread for 1.2.5.4. I might take a look at it...20 years a Zencart User
