Batch List Bungle

FCP is rejecting a perfectly fine Excel-made tab-delimited txt file which precisely echoes the Name, Media Start, Media End, Reel, Scene, Shot/Take. Master Comment A and Master Comment B headings in my bin.

Wha??? Says I can have as many columns as I like as long as I have the first four. So there they are.

Anybody have experience with these in FCP 7?

My advice on this has always been: export a batch list from a real project, and see how it is formatted, then follow it exactly. FCP is monumentally picky about the format, as you know, and it may have changed its own preferences by ver 7. This technique ought to reveal the problem (but there are no promises).

Good advice, thank you.
