Altap Salamander Support Forums

I often use the Database Viewer for csv files and the like. I always used the "Auto-Select" settings, because those worked okay in most cases.
But version 2.52 changed the rules. And I think they have not been improved.

For 99.9% of the files containing TABs, TAB is the separator. But for many of those files, it now picks some other character.
Example: And another one: Aside: try End in this last example: the long last column overwrites itself...

I now use Tabulator (Tab?) as the default Separator to circumvent the new rule in most cases.

I think the old behavior was "good enough".

This problem has been fixed for the next release of Salamander (AS 2.53/2.53b1).
Tab as a potential separator now has a higher priority than most other chars and the same as ".:;,". Until now, actually any other character with the _same_ probabilty of being the separator was picked.
Thanks for the sample files.
