Hi Jeremy, I thought the upgrade process was to drag one's wiki file to the new empty, upgraded wiki which then imports one's personal tiddlers or am I missing something?
If so, the problem with this is that it also imports all the customisations which might not work with the new upgrade. For instance, I've just done this and the new interface is all over the place and I'll have to dig around to disable the customisations which I've introduced over a period, which for a novice isn't easy. What I was suggesting with the bulk import/export would be to start with the new, empty ugrade and then select tiddlers from the previous version to transfer, rather than the whole wiki which contains stuff you want to leave behind. Obviously if you've got hundred's of tiddlers, there would need to be a facility for doing this.
