Import data - problems

[Bart Pietercil]

For me the reason to stay with Valentina IS support.
I know we are pushing valentina to its limits and I can say that it is  
holding its ground.

Needless to say that we find issues but when we do the Paradigma Team  
is blazingly fast in fixing them.
Just like Ruslan says: Mail your questions in and we will try to help  
you (Ruslan and some ordinary users).
