Can't import CSV sessions

[Rudolph]

So I exported 30 sessions as CSV, removed some links on notepad and then tried to import back.

After clicking on save, the window closes and nothing happens - nothing is being imported, so I started importing sessions one by one, few sessions were imported successfully, but then there were some which can't be imported... I don't know what is the problem... Maybe links are too long (1500 characters from google results, etc)? Or there are some characters that doesn't work on SB plugin?

Can you forward the CSV to sup...@sessionbuddy.com. I'll take a look to see if I can fix it.

I found the problem.

It's because quotation marks are in 'Title' field, it doesn't import CSV if there is a double quote " " in Title.

Try to import this:

Session,Window,Title,URL

"Merged Session","Window 49","Internet Archive Search: creator:"Stefan Molyneux"","http://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Stefan+Molyneux%22"

Thanks for the follow up.

Embedded double quotes need to be escaped in CSV (with 2 consecutive quotes: "")

That said, there IS a current bug that fails to unescape escaped quotes during import. The fix for this will ship with the next release.
