crash on CSV import screen leads to "broken" postico installation

I helped a colleague recently where a crash in the CSV import screen lead to postico being unusable. I can't give you a full reproduction of the bug, but here is what happened:

  • there was a somewhat ambitious CSV import ... maybe the setting (quotes, seperators, etc) where also not correct
  • anyway postico crashed with the CSV import settings screen open
  • when reopened postico tried to restore the CSV import screen and promptly crashed again
  • this lead to a crash loop that I eventually resolved with renaming ~/Library/Containers/at.eggerapps.Postico/Data/Library/Application Support/Postico/Local Library, restarting postico, quitting and then renaming the library folder back

I wasn't aware before, that postico tries to restore this screen as well ... anyway it can lead to this restart loop if the CSV parser(?) crashes.
