[#1948]

I try to export project (to CSV) to see how looks the file. But I encounter two problems…

1. How export ALL columns, not only those displayed? No choice for that!!!

2. CSV file IS NOT UTF8, but latin-1!!! :pinch:
(my system is Linux, 100% UTF8, so that comes from Projeqtor export function.)
I fear to have the same problem if import from UTF8 file…

Just look a bit ion the pop-up that appears before clicking the "OK" column

2. CSV file IS NOT UTF8, but latin-1!!!

It is designed this way, to be able to open it with MS-Excel.
If you need UTF-8, just convert exported file (iconv works fine for that).

Of course I did ! :pinch: (and as I work as admin, I have rights on all, no?)
The only choice is between the detail display (with all cases checked, but non-displayed data are not listed !) data and the list data (which reduce to half a dozen fields checked)

2. CSV file IS NOT UTF8, but latin-1!!!

It is designed this way, to be able to open it with MS-Excel.

Sorry, but it is a very bad choice : in an international context, non-ANSI characters are not compatbles and so replaced by '?', altering data. Needless to say that converting the exported file to UTF8 will not repair anything!
“Excel compatibility” is not pertinent : MS office is perhaps the only M$ software recognizing correctly UTF-8 since a lot of years (at least since Office 2000, and I doubt than Office 97 or olders be still in use).

So for import : how import data containing non-ANSI characters if treated as latin-1/ISO8559-1 ?
Please show where to set 'enforceUTF8' to permit the use of CSV files without loss of data…

And perhaps plan to add a choice between export as UTF8 or as “Windows compatible” characters set. 😉

Hello
I am experiencing the same regarding to usability of List exported :

What I require : export the List of Tickets being showed but with Full Details (CSV or PDF ).

I searched how can I do that in Reports also but without chance.

I want to have a PDF with multiple Pages, each page contain one Ticket with Full Details, among the Tickets showed on result. That is crucial for Us because we send frequent reports of what Has been done and what remains, and Managers require to see all details on reports because they have no time to log into Projeqtor.

Thanks in advance
