Subject : RE: import scans

I assume you are talking about scans from other sources than Omnidata?

Here's a blurb on that:
Also, custom OmniScans are saved automatically & manually. The stocks.otd (which is a much larger file size) file mentioned above contains all OmniScans while the backups contain only the user created custom scans. To access the OmniScan backup & restore functions right-click any OmniScan list while inside OmniScan & select List Maintenance. The OmniScan backups are saved in the following locations:

Vista/Windows 7/8/10 - C:\ProgramData\NirvanaSystems\OmniScan

Otherwise, I get stock lists from other sites and often they have an export to excel. If so, I save it as a .csv and then do an import using file/import/symbol list/browse. I import it into an empty "My Symbols" list and then rename it to something appropriate.

If they don't have an excel import and you can save it as a text file you can then create a .csv.

I have not tested all variations but I have the best luck by pruning my .csv to just symbol and name.
