Interesting problem you raise.
You could allow the user to select any combination of competitor fields to
be the key, these would then become required fields in the wizard. during
file load. ( you could not have any of these fields blank in the CSV file,
and the program could check this and refuse to load the file if any of the
key fields in the file are NULL.) As you indicated there must always be a
race field available in the file, otherwise, what is being loaded?
For new competitors not previously seen, the wizard could either auto add
the new competitors with warning that the competitor info is added but not
complete (ie. it would not have rating information ), or it could warn and
give a list of competitors that were not loaded. I would be happy with
either one, although the former would be a more elegant solution. It
would be nice if this was recoverable in a file, sort of a import errors
file.
The advantages here are 2 fold.
1) The user can import based on any competitor fields depending on their
situation.
2) While the flexibility is more complex then a single wizard would
be, it should be easier for you then writing 4 or 5 different wizards as
it is simply less code in the long run. (less maintenance too 8)!!! )
Hope this helps.
I would just like to add my 2 cents worth about how impressed I am with
your program. A fantastic piece of software.

Colin

Correct - your 2. is next on my list to do - I wanted to do it in 1.42 but
ran out of time. It'll probably turn up some time during May - I can't be
any more precise because I can't predict how much time I'll get to allocate
to Sailwave... The issue I ran into is how to identify existing
competitors - I realised that I'd need a number of methods, e.g.
class+sailno, helm+crew, helm, etc. I may actually do it in a separate
wizard to avoid overloading the existing one and allow start/finish times
and other race information to be imported; i.e. the race number will
probably be a require field. All ideas welcome...

Colin

Colin,
I was trying out the import facilities that you just added and I just
wanted to confirm what I think I am seeing.
1) When you import a race, you must import all of the boat information,
ratings and elapsed times for all the races in a series.
2) You are NOT able to import the elapsed time for specific race, adding
those results to results already existing in the file. Explicitly you can
not set up a series, and then each week import another weeks results,
adding a new race column, but not adding anymore lines to the file.
If 2) can be done, how is it done? I have been using menu path File >
Import > Series Summary....
Regards
Colin
