Unable to import books as finished #43

Closed KPMonkey closed 4 years ago

KPMonkey commented 4 years ago

I am unable to import a book and have it show on the "Finished" tab instead of under the "To Read" tab.

I have tried setting Started Reading, Finished Reading, Current Page, Current Percentage in the csv file before importing.

Sorry for the trouble you're having. It should appear in the Finished tab if there is both a Started Reading and a Finished Reading column - but these must be provided in the form YYYY-MM-DD - e.g. 2020-06-30. Also, Finished must be after Started.

I realise this isn't properly explained in the app, so I am actually working on an improvement which will explain a lot more details about the import columns and how they should be provided. See the attached screenshot.

Awesome, that worked.

I looked through the code and overlooked the date format. And excel doesn't help as after you export it defaults to mm/dd/yyyy.

The column description update is a great addition.
