Import from IMDB failing
I have exported my watchlist and ratings from IMDB,
however importing the watchlist doesn't work:
"The file you submitted could not be mapped to one of our supported formats".
The file is the one just exported from IMDB, and looks like the example of IMDB v3 format.
Importing ratings with the same process worked just fine.
My watchlist isn't very long either at 348 entries.
Knowing how CSV files tend to break at the slightest inconvenience, could it be that there's an issue with some special characters, since a lot of the movies are international?

Maybe this thread will help solve this problem.

Thanks, that helped! I didn't notice there was one extra column ("Original Title"), removing worked.

As a dev I find it a bit odd to make a converter that cares about extra fields though, it would be enough to just look for the columns that are explicitly required, and the rest can be ignored. Would make the conversion more robust in the face of fickle proprietary formats :)
