Hi, I'm Evan, developer of Modern CSV, a tabular file editor for Windows, Mac, and Linux. I posted about version 2 a year and a half ago and thought I'd do a follow up since I've added a lot of features since then. I just add

Many of your complaints were addressed in version 2. These include: - A preferences window for settings, keyboard shortcuts, and file extension options - A Unique Values feature - A File Metadata pane to easily set up things like header ro

It does delimiter auto detection and for the Statistics feature, it automatically detects dot vs. comma decimals.

I've never seen or heard of this issue. By any chance, could you send me a file that it crashes on? That or a video showing the crash. You can send them here: https://www.moderncsv.com/report-a-bug/

I would expect this to take some time, but not minutes. I'll see if I can make it quicker and if not, I'll have to add a progress bar.

1. If you copied from another table, it should paste as a table. If you copied a bunch of delimited text, then yes, it'll paste into a single column and you can you the Split Selected Cells Horizontally command to separate it into colu

I've been meaning to do this. I appreciate the reminder.

I appreciate that. However, I did know what I was getting into. :)

When you select after filtering, are you doing a select all (ctrl+a or cmd+a in Mac)? Or selecting the top row and hitting shift+down to get to the bottom? Ideally, it shouldn't make a difference, but with the way it works now, it does

Definitely not my intent.

Just to clarify, I did give you version 2 license keys that worked on those beta releases and this version 2 release at no extra charge, as I promised. I also changed the beta releases to not have a time limit and accept license keys instea

There's a setting to automatically fit the column widths based on the contents and it's turned on by default. You can turn it off and manually change the sizes, but they'll be lost once you close the program. If you change th

That's a fair critique. While the app last year was mostly ready to go (aside from a few features I later decided to add), most of the issues I've had to deal with since have been related to other things (sales form, website, etc.

You're right, Mac trackpad handling is something I need to address. It's on my to-do list.

The name only refers to the app's features and appearance. Well before I started development, I was looking for a CSV editor for my own use and everything I tried had a 90s look and feel. I figured just because the format is ancient do

Yes, you can use it on as many machines as you want and there's no limitation on platforms either.

It can convert date and time formats. It can also write down the current date/time in whatever format you want.

That has not been on my roadmap, but I'll think about it. It sounds like it may have to be a separate product, not that that's a bad thing.

I made a file of 9s and it took about a second. I made a video: https://moderncsv.com/videos-temp/load-image9.mp4 You have to change the setting in the Settings file (Edit Settings command) under the "User Value&q

I figured out it. It's due to the Auto-Fit Column Width setting. By default, it's enabled. Most files don't have a ton of columns so it's fine, but for 1920 columns, it can really slow things down. When I loaded the file

It's handled much larger files than that, so if it's something you don't mind sharing, you can send the file at https://www.moderncsv.com/report-a-bug . It is a beta version, so I'm trying to fix all thes

I could do that for vim users.

That is really useful information. Thanks!

That seems to be a common issue. I put "!!! Make changes below !!!" above the User Value column, but if you scroll straight down to the Theme row, you may miss that. Perhaps I could swap the User Value and Default Value column or

You and I think alike because that was my initial thought. The practical considerations make it tricky. I may still do it, but I first plan to embed Python to allow users to implement their own commands.

This new version has a Convert Number Format command that can be used to convert between the two formats. It just occurred to me I didn't take that into account for the new statistics operations. I'll be sure to fix it.
