Loading the CSV file is easy. Converting the gcvs.txt file to a CSV format is the "hard" part.

Here's a bug that I found yesterday. I submitted it to KDE and of course Jasem is the current KStars lead. If you load a CSV file using the standard method, and you have a star name like R And, when you go to the Pointing -> Find Object menu, it will not be found. The menu will find RR And, but not S Ant, or any single letter prefix. Go back to where you loaded the file in the Setup page, and the star will be there. The work around is to change all the single letter stars to something like R* And which will be found in the pointing menu.

CS,
Bob
