Comment:

 Hi,

 can't reproduce the problem here. For me, the only difference between old
 and new format (i.e. between the versions produced by the plugin included
 in 1.4 and 1.5) are the delimiters (in the old format, tab was used as
 delimiter, whereas the new format uses comma separated values), and the
 additional "enable" flag for the new version. Version 1.4 files of this
 type are read
 correctly, I am guessing your files are even older?

 Anyway, the attached example only differs from the 1.4 format due to the
 missing header line. As
  workaround, you could add a (arbirtrary) header line to your old files.
 Although the breakage
 is unfortunate, I'll mark this as "wontfix" for now - there is an easy
 workaround, and I don't want to add to much complexity to the loader for a
 collection of legacy formats.

 Feel free to reopen if you feel this bug will affect users strongly.
