Should provide better error messages when a problem is encountered during import

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make a CSV file with lots of entries
2. Try to import it

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Not all of the entries get imported.  I can find the last one that was 
imported and then delete those lines from the beginning of the CSV file.  
If I then re-import, I get the next batch of lines imported.  Each time, I 
think I get something like 15 lines imported.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Android on a G1

Hi thabangh,

Do you see an error message during import?

Is there anything special about the last line imported, or first line not 
imported?

Would you be willing to add to this bug report the last line imported and first 
line not 
imported, after scrubbing out all usernames and ids and passwords?

What program generated the csv file?  For now, secrets has only been tested 
with oisafe, 
so unless the format matches oisafe or secrets' own csv format, there may be 
problems 
during import.

I tried to replicate this problem, after my old G1 died and I got a 
replacement.  I
could not replicate it; however, in the process of importing my password list, I
noticed some finicky behavior that I think should probably be documented.

(1) When the import function fails, it doesn't say why or on what line.  This 
meant I
had to proceed via trial and error till I worked out precisely what format is 
required.

(2) I couldn't get my passwords to be accepted unless they had quotation marks 
around
each entry.

(3) I couldn't get my passwords to be accepted unless they had exactly five 
fields
per line.  Fewer fields leads to "failure to import."

I am using a hand-edited CSV file.
