This module prioritises products_model as the primary key during import and ignore products_id by creating a new one. Is it possible to have an option in the configuration for choosing the import/export primary key: products_id or products_model, like in EP4? The main reason is that products_id always has an automatic unique number no matter what; whereas products_model has to be manually made unique but some suppliers use the same model numbers for products with different colors.

Although command ADD may work for adding products with the same products_model, it adds the linked product as a new product instead. Turning it on and off in configuration can be confusing and inconvenient.

Is there a way to bulk create categories before importing products?
I'm not seeing that behavior in my testing.

If I take an existing product, I can change its model. If your site's configured to allow duplicate models, then using a dbio_command of ADD (with a products_id of 0) will create a new product with the same model number.

There is not currently a means to export and import categories separately.
