Would it be possible to import from a txt? ive used several database /catalog programs and most of them can export to a simple txt, one title per lineor just separated by commas, etc..
This way i could change my lists from other programs to this, I read a post about importing from excel and seems it wouldnt work because of details but cant we just import the titles? =| big lists are a pain to add for new users like me.

The problem with importing from a text file is that it's very difficult to get a 1 to 1 result. Similar named entries may get more than 1 comparison search result. If that's the case, the system can guess, but that's no good, guessing and adding an incorrect entry sucks. Not to mention you would have to export in a "set" format so that the system can import a "common" format.
