Schedule Importer Updates

[speedbump]

Josh,

Just curious as to when you will be releasing a new schedule importer (Ref Air Canada Crewsware not picking up crew names) open ticket about 3 months old... Not a biggy I agree, however this is the longest I've ever seen for a 'identified' problem to be rectified... Would it be possible to fix the online version short term, and the downloadable version at a later date?

In the meantime, anyone who is affected by this problem I believe the easyiest 'work around' is to use the 'online schedule importer' and usie the 'edit' feature to add crew names. I find this far less time consuming than doing it on my Palm post schedule import.

Cheers,
Ian

Six weeks, no response... Is there an update in the works? I know its a small issue... Quote April 23/07 from Josh: "I am still working on this filter. I have received enough samples to finish the filter. Please keep them coming though so I can test this as much as possible before I release it."

Hello,

We are developing a new version of the schedule importer and do not have a release date available at this time. Thank you for your continued patience.
