I like the fact that goto/reload simply ignores entries that it finds issues with but it would be even better if it told me what it found that it didn't understand. 9 times out of 10 it is because I forgot to put a tab somewhere which raises the second request - can you please switch to JSON or something like that for the data file format CSV is just too hard to get right every time.
Either that or just get rid of the need to enter a name and a date/time on every entry. They serve no purpose AFAICT
