Unable to import survey with 3.6 pre release

[vansorat]

I can open a survey file in QC v. 3.5 but cannot do this in the mastercode (pre 3.6 release). Here is the error message. Is anyone else having this problem.

File "C:\Users\tuq68878\Downloads\QualCoder-master\qualcoder_main_.py", line 1628, in import_survey
ui = DialogImportSurvey(self.app, self.ui.textEdit)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

copyfile(self.filepath, destination)

Thank you for letting me know.
It is fixed now.

Thank you for fixing that. There seems to be a limit on the number of rows that can be imported with surveys222. I don't know what this is, but I tested various numbers. I am able to import 6000 rows. I also tested in NVivo and ATLAS.ti and those programs accepted less than 6000 rows (around 3000 was best).

With 8000 rows and anything more I get this error:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^

Hi, I am glad the earlier error is fixed, and that QC can load more rows than the other programs.
You are importing a csv file. It's probably that the CSV is not well formed around line 8000, I am guessing. As it is expecting a field and there is none.
I Think load the csv with Excel and then save in excel format before loading into QC would be one option.
I will put in a work around, for a CSV format.
