EOL project. Support, finished, updates will no longer be made for this software. Csv-editor v2 will arrive one of these days, for sure. (currently already done and in use for personal usage, but still in development. [WIP])

CsvEditor

A simple software to Edit, create, modify, search, sort, save csv files.

• It is not designed to use with large csv files (over 10k entries), at the risk of longer processing times.
• An issue exist with columns list, in option tab or edition window when you have more than 16 fields (columns) and screen size of 1080 pixels height. The window haven't vertical scroll bar so you get some columns and "ok", "cancel" buttons to be invisible. Simply use [alt]+left mouse button to move whole window.

How it's made

• Programmed with go language: golang
• GUI provided by andlabs go-libui, Platform-native GUI library for Go.

Fonctionnalities

This is the main screen.

New row window. If no line is checked, you get this window. If one or more lines are checked, you get an edit window with a duplicate option for the last checked line. You can check [Cell editing on the fly] at the bottom left to edit a row directly by double-clicking a cell.

Search option. Everything is said looking at the picture

Selecting the table, Where you can change the target table, you have 3 modes, main, search and sort. Only the "main" tables have possibility to modify the options, "search" and "sort" can be sorted, searched, saved, edited. If you want to change the column options, you must select the main view, otherwise the option is grayed out.
