iPassword 5 freezes on SplashID import

Update: Apparently, posting this question to the Discussion Forum did the trick. As soon as I posted, I went back to the Import window and clicked on a few things and it suddenly imported. I'm not sure exactly what did it--other than posting this question, of course. :)

Thank you so much, MrC. That was extremely helpful. I ended up deleting all of my original imports and replacing them with yours. They will still need some cleaning up--but much, much less than my original import would have.

A few comments:

For some reason, your README file was unreadable on my Mac. It seemed to be white type on a white background. I had to copy all the text into MS Word to read it, but I lost a lot of formatting which made it difficult to use. Not sure what was going on there, but you might want to check it out.

I ended up using the -f and -m suffixes. They gave me better results than the original command without any modifiers. For some reason, the full names (--folders and --modified) caused the conversion to fail. Again, not sure why. Unfortunately, I had hoped the -f command would transfer all of my SplashID subcategories to 1Password, but it only transferred the higher-level folders. Still, it was very helpful.

A note to 1Password Support if you're reading this: I discovered the cause of my original problem with the Import command. The Open button doesn't work. You have to double-click on the filename instead. A small issue, but it was very frustrating (as you can see from my original message) until I figured it out.

1. I used Adobe Acrobat Pro. Now, of course, I see that it opens perfectly in Viewer (formerly Preview). But I didn't think to try that at the time.

2. These command lines worked:
   perl5.16 convert_to_1p4.pl splashid -v ../splashid_export.vid
   perl5.16 convert_to_1p4.pl splashid -v ../splashid_export.vid -f
   perl5.16 convert_to_1p4.pl splashid -v ../splashid_export.vid -f -m

These did not:
perl5.16 convert_to_1p4.pl splashid -v ../splashid_export.vid --folders
perl5.16 convert_to_1p4.pl splashid -v ../splashid_export.vid --folders --modified

3. SplashID has "folders" and "types." My three folders were transferred to 1Password: Personal, Financial and Logins (along with Unfiled). But not my "types," which are things like Email Accts, Frequent Flyer, Auto-Pay, Bank Accts and Serial Numbers. Only a few types which matched 1Password's categories (Credit Cards and Servers) seem to have survived.

Anyway, I'm now struggling to make 1Password work for me as it should. But that will have to wait for another thread. :)

MrC,

I can't find your email address in your profile so I'll try you here one more time. I'm OK with the categories/types; I'm gradually cleaning them up manually.

But now I have another question for you: I'm installing 1Password for my wife, who uses an old version of mSecure (v2). When I tried to use your converter, I got this response:

Lisas-MacBook-Air:convert_to_1p4 lisa$ perl5.16 convert_to_1p4.pl msecure -v ../pm_export.txt
Unexpected failure parsing CSV: row 1 at Converters/Msecure.pm line 328, <$io> line 2.
Imported 0 cards
Exported 0 total items

Did it fail because it's an old version of mSecure, or for some other reason? Is there a simple fix? Thanks for your help.
