Import CSV with tasks information #107

To be able to import data from basically any source, GP needs to have the
ability of importing a CSV file with some more details than only tasks name.

Could be something like:
[task name],[start date],[end date],[coordinator],[priority]

Where all fields but the task name would be optional.

That way, we can generate data from any other source to bring into GP. With
the CVS file format defined, it's easy to create scripts to convert files
from any other format to the format understood by GP.

I think it's a big enhancement to GanttProject.

Hi there.

I agree with this enhancement request. We use FreePlane (a great Open Source 
Mind Mapping tool) and it would be really great if we could have ganttproject 
import a pre-defined CSV file that includes Tasks  - Task Name, Start Date, 
Duration (in Days) and Resource assigned. I have written a script in FreePlane 
(using "groovy" scripting) that goes through the nodes of my Mind Map looking 
for nodes with scheduling attributes and outputs it to a .csv or .txt output 
file.

This might help given that freemind still uses the same file format.

I agree with the original comment.  As is, it appears to me that GP can only be 
used to create Gantt charts, but to have greatly expanded value, GP needs to 
read at least task, duration and resource from a txt file.  Then it could be 
used to generate schedules using order management software.  Give it a duration 
and let GP calculate the schedule.

I would like to add that the import routine needs to have a mapping function 
that takes the input file column headers and does a best match to the 
GanttProject column headers. This includes the ability to map a non-matching 
GanttProject columns to a custom column in GanttProject. This is needed for 
both tasks and resources.

I would even accept cut and paste task creation from a spreadsheet (in Windows, 
this usually comes out as tab delimited text).  Right now I'm staring at a list 
of 120 tasks in excel, and the ugly task of typing out each one again in 
ganttproject.  Has anyone volunteered to work on this enhancement?
