Values in CSV files in app are seperated by semicolon
The values in the CSV files in app are seperated by semicolon instead of comma.
When the user make a csv file in MS Excel, Calc ect.. by default the values in the file will be seperated by comma right?
It cause the app to crash due to this missmatch.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
This is locale dependent. A german Excel will use semicolon as default. For Excel it can also be specified as first line of the file with sep=;´ (but my app won't work with the extra line at the beginning).
In my opinion semicolon is the better separator, as I regularly use commas within my word lists. So using commas would force the users to put their stuff in quotes or avoid commas.
