Hi Tony,

Yes, the import can be done when you open a tiddler, this refers to TWc.
I open a tiddler and than a folder is scanned for .csv files, for every 
file a button is created, I can than select the specific .csv by the click 
of a button to load the data and the data is processed to a graph that is 
printed as pdf.
Some of the concepts I used are available in the nwHive wiki if you are 
interested, can be found here. <https://github.com/nwOkido/nwSaver>
This should be possible in TW5 too, the only thing is that there is a fence 
for safety between TW5 and the I/O system when I remember correctly, you 
need to signal change handlers to pass on data from one side to the other.
I guess that there are people on this forum that can help you further.

Have a nice day, Okido
