And if you're a Flight Reader user, you can right click any flight in the main Flight Reader window to open the flight log in CsvView. Make sure you have CsvView installed so you're able to see that menu item in Flight Reader.

I installed CsvView. When I right click a flight in Flight Reader, it launches CsvView, but does not open the file. I have to drag the .csv file manually into the app. I am probably doing something wrong!

If you right click that flight in the main Flight Reader window and choose "Open Log Folder", what is the filename of that aircraft CSV file?

I found CsvView isn't able to load them when they are named like "DJIFlightRecord_2024-09-15_[23-36-50] (1)-aircraft.csv" instead of "DJIFlightRecord_2024-09-15_[23-36-50]-aircraft.csv".

DJIFlightRecord_2024-09-28_[06-40-04]-aircraft.csv
and
DJIFlightRecord_2024-09-28_[06-40-04].txt

They were imported from my RC 2 directly into Flight Reader using File Sync Flight Logs
 
DJIFlightRecord_2024-09-28_[06-40-04]-aircraft.csv
I found an issue in the current version of Flight Reader where it will not load CSV filenames that contain spaces due to the way Flight Reader is passing the filename to CsvView.

This could also occur if there are spaces anywhere in the Flight Log Repository location.

The next Flight Reader release will contain a fix to resolve that.

Yup, I do have a space in that file path!

Thanks for confirming! Look for the fix in the upcoming release.

And since this is on topic for this thread, you'll also be able to generate charts like this (a work in progress at the moment):

Just a suggestion, I routinely rename flight logs and their CSVs. I try not to create gaps but typos happen.
Once that has been done I run bulk rename utility on ALL the renamed files and replace a gap with an "_" and then "__" with "_".
Gaps in CSV names can cause problems with my logbook programming.

Some more progress. I shall call these the @BudWalker charts :)

@smbishop that CsvView launch issue has been resolved in the current version of Flight Reader. Also, here's a look at the final chart feature that's in the same build.
