Hey team, I'm running into an issue where I tried adding in Impulse chord, but when I submitted the chord, instead of the input I had entered, it showed Mouse_UP + Mouse_UP. I went over to dot i/o and changed the chord to the correct input output, but and the new chord exists, however the old one stayed, and doesn't show up on the chord library. My CC is newly updated to 1.1.1 and I've tried importing a chord excel as well, and the chord remains, meaning I can't use the mouse input without it chording basically. The image attached shows a count of 526 (Which I don't actually know if that's the chord count) but when exported, my chord count is 513, does that mean there are 13 hidden chords including this mouse input chord that are not updating correctly? Any help would be great.

GG @vivid jacinth, you just advanced to level 1!

So, I used advice from a previous post, and wiped the chords with the charachorder config site, and then went back to dot i/o and uploaded the excel library of chords I had previously. This removed the ghost chords, but then, somehow added comas "," to every single chord output in the library.
Can you show an excerpt of the file you used?
sorry, not there, I mean Notepad or something
open the .csv file
some characters seem odd
yeah, so, they are shown there
I don't know if it was your excel or whatever other tool you used the csv
but it seemed to malform it
or did it come directly from dot io like that?
That is the file saved exported from dot i/o
very interesting
what browser are you using?
it's weird because it looks inconsistent
What is your chord supposed to be for three? one? etc
so, those were working prior to the wipe, but there were comma combined with the letter where the number was (three was special since it is on space) ... so one: , + a
two: , + t
and so on
I think that is the problem
using comma in a chord causes the CSV to go wonky
to be clear, it's not your fault, it's just that the CSV doesn't seem to be happy with that because they aren't in quotations
it would need to be like this:
"; + ,","three"
for example
or ";+,", three
is that because the CSV treats the comma as a jump to the next cell?
Comma Separated Values (CSV)
indeed
and if you want to use a comma, it has to be in quotes and if you want to use a quote, it has to be.. in quotes and escaped
what
these things need fixin on dot io
like if you wanted a chord for...
Hello my old "friend"
I'm not old
you would need to have it in the CSV as
"Hello my old ""friend"""
I thought that the error was in the input, not the output
it can be either
if you try to make a chord for "hello, my friend"
you will have the same issue
so if I input the chord with a comma, it works, until I export, and re-import, it will screw up the whole deal
GG @vivid jacinth, you just advanced to level 2!
Yes, until the dot io bug is fixed
and to get around it IF I wanted a comma, how would I input it?
into the CSV with that format and then export it?
I mean import it into dot that way
I don't know if there would be changes needed on the dot IO side on import to handle it
it's quite possible there would be
so I am not sure
ok, I'll avoid comma chords for now then
and I will start from scratch on my chords again for now, since all of my saved CSV's are now corrupted with the dreaded unquoted commas
You should be able to delete the offending chords from the csv
and/or repair them
unless you have so few that starting from scratch just makes sense
might be less time
but it added commas to EVERY word
not every from your screenshot
that part is still puzzling me
oh no
I see
I understand now
Do you mind sharing the CSV file with me?
(does it have private info?)
It moved everything, didn't it?
the trailing commas are there because it thinks there are 3 columns
Cuz it misinterprets the first wrong comma, then moves everything after that
awesome, thank you
to your knowledge, any other symbols trigger anything else like that in a CSV?
this fixed CSV adds two spaces after the word
I removed them.
oh yeah, my bad
so, I'm hitting a really strange bug (What appears to be a bug) trying to add chords
not sure if it's related to all of this, but I feel like I'm going crazy doing impulse chords (And afraid I'm going to drive you crazy reading all of my problems)
I type: .a then i+DUP to impulse, add the ouput as "one" because I want to try this instead of the comma. When I hit enter, it says the input is DUP+a
Ive run into this quite a few times trying to impulse, where I do no other inputs prior what I'm trying to add, and it says my input is completely different that what's on my notepad (Like the previous Mouse_UP example)
GG @vivid jacinth, you just advanced to level 3!
when you get to the input step, you can "rechord" what you want
yeah
when you are on that screen, you can chord what you want it to be
I was able to get . + a no problem
I see, is there a way for me to pull up the a + DUP chord I made through the impulse manager?
Nope, you should be able to delete it in dot I/O
you would think, but that would be too easy
The chord does not appear in dot i/o, or an exported CSV, the only way I can get rid of it is by wiping it with charachorder config
not to mention, the number inputs with commas you removed from the CSV are back, and if I manually change them in dot, the changed chord is added, but the old ones stay as well
I edited ,three to change it to the period input, however it stuck around.
