Public bug reported:

Hello,

The import/export tool must be reviewed completly in trunk in order to
be easier to use. The main change is the "import compatible" option that
allows to export any kind of data (including one2many, many2one, etc)
and reimport the file after to update or create new data. The v5
behaviour was unuseable at all.

I already commited the changes in the server and GTK client to support
this. Only the web client is remaining.

Have a look at the attached PDF file for the useability of the two
screens to review.

Import Tool
-----------

The import tool must be simplified. We don't need to select the fields
anymore, it will automatically take the columns defined by the first row
of the .CSV file.

When you select a file, the web client should make a preview of the
first three rows. You can change the CSV options "field separator, field
delimitor, encoding". Just display the columns as it, without any
interpretation. (if they are ID or XML ID, just display the IDs).

Export Tool
-----------

There is a real difference between the normal mode and the "Import
Compatible" mode.

If you set the import compatible mode:
1. For every field:
  - many2one: just display two children: id and .id
  - many2many: just display this field without children
  - one2many: normal behaviour
2. When you export, put the name of the fields in the first columns, and not their label. (example: partner_id/id)

If you don't set the import compatible mode. For every:
1. For every field:
  - many2one: you can see all children
  - many2many: you can see all children
  - one2many: you can see all children
2. When you export, put the label of the fields in the first columns, and not their name. (example: Partner/ID)

I changed the format of the csv file. Instead of "db_id", I used ".id".
An example of "import compatible" file exported from partners:

  id,.id,name,address.id,address/id,address/name
  base.res_partner_agrolait,3,Agrolait,11,base.res_partner_address_8delivery,Paul

This has to be done in trunk, before v6.0. I think it's critical for
OpenERP Online users.

Test with the GTK client to be sure the behaviour is the same in the web
and GTK client.
