What is the major difference between "Easy Populate CSV" and "Excel Populate for Zen Cart" plugins running Zen Cart 1.5.1? For import, export and editing of existing data? Is there another plugin that could be recommended.

Using Zen Cart 1.5.1
One uses open office and the other apparently use excel in some fashion

But which is better? "Easy Populate CSV" seems to me to be very sensitive and problematic! I was wondering what others think, who use these tools a lot.
Using Zen Cart 1.5.1
We've use Easypopulate CSV on our 1.3.9h carts and it works well. But since zencart 1.5.x I've used Easypopulate 4 and like it better.
I took a brief look at easypopulate excel and knew I would not likely use it...but do not recall why.
BTW, we've used Openoffice and Excel on both Easypopulates.

What seems to be the case Excel's CSV file format (Comma delimited file with "" marks for fields) breaks the import process some how? And they don't recommend it.
Using Zen Cart 1.5.1
I used "Easy Populate CSV" found http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=868. I can't find Easy Populate 4?
Are they the same? Where can I get it?

Here is the Easypopulate 4 support thread:

It's not yet in zencart plugins but first post has a link to github to get it.
BTW, Easypopulate 4 will work even if another easypopulate is installed, as it is independent. Just make sure you're using the correct spreadsheet with the correct easypopulate when uploading, as there are some differences. Example: easypopulate 4 handles the categories^subcategories differently; there are in the same column as I show with the "^".

I realized, I was using "easy_populate_csv_for_zencart_v1.5.x_v1.2.5.7c", thinking it was Easy Populate 4.
Reverted back to prior backups and installing Easy Populate 4. Thank you for the link.
