Request: Helpful error messages when importing

Hi,

when I am importing lessons, sometimes, for whatever reason, the import fails. It does not happen that often but when it does, usually the files I import are rather large, so hunting down the specific error might take some time. Usually I split the file and do a binary search to find the error. However, it would be greatly helpful, if, when the import fails, you would display in the error message where the error took place (i.e. line or word), what caused it, etc. instead of “There was an error importing this file. Please ensure all digital protection has been removed.” (I’m importing a simple txt-file, there is no digital protection). I understand that the import may not work 100% perfectly and that there might be some unforeseen issues. But it would greatly speed up the process if we could get at least some pointer as to where something might be wrong.

We will look into providing more information regarding import status. That is something we would like to improve in general. I will add your suggestion to the task.
