Dear Nicklas et al., This is fantastic news. I am testing the new import plugin(s) now.
I have imported the documentation/demo spreadsheet into Google Docs and shared it to everyone here (so if you have no openoffice and no google account you can still read it): http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pRS68LZhEttbUTcTRpn1EKw&hl=en So far it's working great. I've got biosources, samples and extracts all linked properly. Is the protocol lookup always name-based? Or can that be done with internal IDs (note to everyone: these can now be display in the list view). It's working fine for me with the name, by the way. Would it be trivial to have an option for "use project's default protocols"? Would it also be possible to have the file parsing configuration saved somehow? many thanks for this excellent advance. cheers, Bob.
