Re: [clipperz] import of csv doesn't work

[Jason Schmidt]

I've seen the next/back button overlap as well, but never so much that you can't click the correct one.

After you select CSV and click Next, it takes you to the second step. At the top of the screen you'll see a wizard bar with the steps, and the first one (the highlighted one) is "Paste".

A short bit of history/reasoning: Because of the way web browser security has been structure/enforced, to select a file would require sending the file to the server (perhaps over SSL, but in such a way that the server could read it). Clipperz is a zero-knowledge system, where the server never receives data from you that it can understand (everything is encrypted), therefore using the normal "Select File" mechanism of the browser would be bad for security. Instead you should...

Open your CSV file in a text editor (Notepad, TextEdit, whatever you have handy)

Highlight all (with Ctrl-A or Command-A)

Copy

Paste into the text box in Clipperz

Click the "Next" button and it should take you to column selection

I hope this helps!

trying to import a csv file into clipperz.

 

goto data, click import, click csv.

 

notice on the bottom that the next button is not showing properly, looks like the back button is integrated into the left side of it as well.

 

anyway, click on next, and I would expect it to ask for a file name.

 

but what it show is "select the columns that contains the titles of..."

 

Of course, I can't select anything at this point.

 

If you click next, an error message comes up. and then it tries to do something, and will hang.

Hi everyone.

There are definitely issues with displaying buttons in the import
section of the "beta" version of Clipperz. Unfortunately this section
is not yet implemented in the "gamma".
But it will soon.

Even better, new capabilities of HTML5, now supported by most
browsers, will allow a more convenient way to import a CSV file
without resorting to copy&paste its content and without leaking
information to the server.

I will get back as soon as we resolved the issue with the back/next buttons.

Thanks!
Marco
