Re: Easy import with CSV files
I find it increasingly surprising that a free and open source program only works properly with expensive closed source software such as Windows and Excel.

On a clean install of Ubuntu 18.04 the program won't run, neither do the Library Editor or the Furniture Editor. I am fully aware that there are workarounds for some of these problems, but that is beside the point. Software should work as is, out of the box. You cannot expect people to be or become full-fledged programmers in order to run software.

Somewhere around version 4 the downloaded software only had to be unpacked and it functioned flawlessly. Unfortunately you miss out all the fun when you use such an old version.

Maybe the introduction of ever more new features should be delayed in order to regain better compatibility for systems other than Windows.
