I downloaded the software, downloaded a couple of pre-made lists from the ZDT site, went to the Categories tab, made a new folder, clicked import and...
nothing.
Just a sand dial...for like 10 minutes!
Am I missing something?

Could you point us to one of the lists you were having trouble with?
Some of the lists are in ZDT "backup" format, so you would not import them, you would use the "restore data" feature instead.

Did you even see the "Import Options" dialog, where you can select which file to import?

You can then check the Preview window to see whether the File Encoding option is matched with the original file's. When they are not matched, you will see the Preview window showed garbage characters. You will then need to click "
