   Hi Heike,

   Can you try deleing the first line in the CSV file and then try again.
   Having the column names in the first line is ok. But I think here it doesn’t accept it because 50% of the lines don’t match the pattern.

   Thanks,
   Niko

   Thanks for answering that fast, Niko!
   What do you mean with 50% don’t match the pattern? Which pattern?

   I have tried the import without the heading line, but that doesn’t work either.

   No problem!

   I just did the import after deleting the first line and it worked. Can you please try again with the attached file.

   Hi Niko,

   thanks, I have tried but the same problem occurred: see screenshot.

   What could be the problem here?

   Hi Heike,

   That’s strange. I just tried again and it works here:

   Are you using the latest version of Timelime (v1.7.1)?

   Hallo Niko,

   ja, ich nutze die letzte Version. Kann es was mit der Encodierung zu tun haben?

   Liebe Grüße,
   Heike

   Hmm, eigentlich nicht. Du hast ja genau die gleiche Datei verwendet wie ich, oder?

   Vielleicht kannst du noch mal mit einem einer CSV Datei versuchen die mehr als nur eine Zeile hat.

   Hi Niko,

   ja, ich hatte dieselbe Datei verwendet, die Du mir gesandt hast.

   Jetzt habe ich mal noch mal 2 Zeilen hinzugefügt, und jetzt gings. In der Datei stand:

   03/08/2020;Test;Test;Test;08:41;09:09
   03/08/2020;Test;Test;Test;08:41;09:09
   03/08/2020;Test;Test;Test;08:41;09:09

   Dann schaue ich noch mal in die anderen Dateien und schaue, warum es da nicht ging...

   Liebe Grüße,
   Heike
