RealmWorks CSV Import Tool

joe2chillo said:
The file names are simply "monster name.jpg" with no path added. As i said the CSV is in the same directory as the image files. Any idea what would cause this error? If I remove the portrait from the import it works fine. Thanks

Hey Joe,

I think that the default path for images might not be the same directory which contains the CSV file. If you were to put in the full path, then it should work.

I will add a note to make sure that the default path is correct.
 
I've just checked the code, and it IS changing to the folder containing the CSV file before generating the RWEXPORT file.

Is there anything unusual about the path to the folder containing the CSV and image files?

Nothing odd. The CSV is in the same folder as the images. And I tried using the full folder path as well. Same error. This is super weird. Is there some place I can see a log file with specifics on errors?

Hi, no there's no log file.

The displayed error message is the only indication that it failed to locate the image file.

If it is a long path to the folder containing the CSV and images, could you try moving it to be a base folder on your drive and see if that makes any difference (something simple like c:\importcsv maybe)

Gave this a shot but same error. Would spaces in the image file name cause an issue? It didn't when I did this previously but I can't image what else the problem is.

EDIT: I tried a file I had used successfully previously a couple months ago and I am getting the same error. I have no idea what is wrong.

I don't know why it would be necessary for my little tool, but as it seems to be broken could you try reinstalling it?
 
Is it possible to get line breaks like this on imports? Searched the thread and couldn't find an answer.

CSV:
Code: 
Name, Size, Languages
Bob,Medium,Aklo|Common|Sylvan

Output:
Code: 
Name: Bob
Size: Medium
Languages: Aklo
           Common
           Sylvan

You can put double quotes around a field that contains line breaks. So you could do:

Bob,Medium,"Aklo
Common
Sylvan"

This is part of the standard CSV format.

That's the first thing I tried, but within Realmworks it just puts spaces between them. I'm using Notepad++ to generate the CSV.
 
Are you putting the data into a normal text snippet, rather than a field that only allows a single line of text?

Yeah, labeled text and text both do the same, no trouble having multiple lines in both otherwise.

Here's a screenshot of Notepad++, Excel, RW after import, and Import tool pre-import.

Not show in the screenshot is trying to import into a generic text field as well.

I should note I'm running the latest Windows 10.

I'll have to have another look at the CSV import routine.
It was working well a few versions ago, so maybe updating to Qt 5.10 has broken it.
 
The description of V1.9 includes the fact that you need to have a blank line between each of the paragraphs that you want to import for multi-line text. In your case, each line of text is considered a paragraph, so the following should work:

Name,Size,Languages
Bob,Medium,"Aklo

Common

Sylvan"

That did it, thank you! Never would have thought of that :)
