1.7 - txt file import doesn't works

[Laura]

I'm using latest version on Ubuntu.

What kind of node are you looking at when you import?
You should only be able to import to "edit" nodes.

What happens when it fails?

[Laura (laurish)]

Yes, I have "Edit" mode during import.

And there happens nothing after I choose my txt file for import. Kibikaboo stays empty.
But when I choose: Node -> Split Node Every One/Two Line breaks (after file import), I got some "child" but it is completely broken.

Is it possible that it is related with special characters what is in my *.txt file? Like: ā, ļ, ņ and so on...

Is your file in another language, or saved in a special format?

Kabikaboo only was designed with a very simple text import.

You could try running Kabikaboo from the command line and see what the console output is, then post that here...
One other thing to try is open your file in GEdit and then save as another format.

Hi,

Yes, my file contained different languages. I saved it in UTF-8 format and it seems ok now after import.
I just have to figure out how to easy split/structure that all long text to avoid from manual child adding and copy+paste of text.

Ok.

You can add 1 or 2 line breaks between your text blocks, and use the "Split Node" feature from the top menu.

You can also select text and use right click to "Move Selected Text to Child Node"

Even with those helpful features it may still take a lot of work if you have lots of notes to import!
