[Qgis-user] Add Delimited Text Layer with Mac EOL

[John C. Tull]

I've always had to use a text editor to convert the line endings. It is a pain, and I always forget until I run into the issue. Having native line ending support would be great. An option to specify a custom line ending would also be nice.
