Hi there,

I have not been able to use the Variable data feature at all, cannot import any CSV or XML, all I get is an error of invalid format.

Any ideas?

Having tested their new feature some, Ill say the VariableImporter script still has some advantages- one of which is that it imports CSVs with other line endings than Windows and it can also import TXT tab delimited files as well as semi-colon-delimited files as well, in addition to auto binding , prepending image paths and being in control of your dataset names.

if you want to give it a try, get it here:

Anybody have insight on how to make visibility work with this new feature? I can get the rest but I don't see an example of how show and hide is supposed to be formatted in a csv file. # proceeding the headers? What else?
