But you're right, having this and other import/export tasks summarized under the roof of a specialized management GUI would be the long term goal. I have no idea how long it takes to UNO'ize two services, but I'm pretty sure it'll be faster than the creation of a concept and specification for a data transfer manager. How could that manager look like and how should it work? > The only thing I would add is that it may be more appropriate to enter > it a feature request for the broader question of an import / export > module for Base.

Nonetheless having a quick solution would be a relief for users actually dealing with .csv and .dbf. And it could be a first step towards the final goal.
