### Import of multiple file with more option

The import process was completely rewritten starting from zero, with all your wishes in mind. The goal was to enable more flexibility, like import several files at a time and to simplify the access to the option. Adding to this, I added some more duplicate/similar option and a few other refinements. See the import process for details.
