Confusing control of txt file profiling

Confusing control of txt file profiling.
- Columns of txt file are not loaded unless "Generate Names" button is clicked.
- Column names are not loaded from the "Load Names" button is clicked. Moreover, this button replaces another button, which is not too much visible.

    Hi David,
    I am responsible for the usability of the product and I agree that the "Generate Names" and "Load Names" buttons are confusing. There are too many buttons in that cluster. I will be working on simplifying this for an upcoming version.

    The Create Profile wizard should be able to detect and set the column names in most cases, as shown below. This wizard appears if you select "Create Profile..." when you right-click on a text file.


    Hope this helps in the meantime...

    Leon
