Custom Import Wizard Take 2

Based on people’s comments, my first attempt at a custom import page seemed to be too limited in the types of files it could handle. So here’s a screenshot of my second attempt.

You can now more directly specify your file format in the ‘Import Format’ area. The letters S, T, P, D represent the four different elements (simplified chars, traditional chars, pinyin, and definition). Since its essentially a freeform text field, you can re-arrange their order, leave particular elements off, and add special delimiters. It’s a little more work to handle validation, but a lot more flexible. So what do you think? When you first look at the screen can you figure out how its supposed to be used? Please let me know.
