G'day Dan,
Well done and thanks for setting up this list. I think it will be great to see everyone's input on CHIRP.
When using csvdump, on a Windows platform, and the user presses the Browse button, to load an existing CSV file, the new window defaults as if it is a "Save As" screen and offers a Save button. This may cause confusion if the user doesn't realise that they can just double click on the filename to load it, rather than wanting to create a new filename and save it.
I realise that it has probably always been like this, but it really only caught my eye recently and thought it might be problematic for new users.

Yeah, it has. The problem is that with just a single button, it's hard to tell if the user wants to browse to open a file for importing or save a file for exporting. That's probably just a bad design decision on my part. Choosing the file should be as part of an import or export action.
Either way, csvdump was intended to be a bare-minimum kickstart for demonstrating some sort of functionality. I'd like to phase it out and just put "Export to CSV" as a menu option in chirpw.
Thanks!
(And thanks for the note about the mailing list on the wiki :)
