The problem is that you've not tried to keep the date/time and odometer reading of your fillup/service records in sync! Of course you CAN enter your records in whatever order you want but you should just keep them in sync. For example, when entering a record for "Jan 2, 2010" and odometer reading of "23,430.8", it's not logical thus not valid to enter a seconrd record for "Dec 23, 2009" and odometer reading of "23,822.6"!! You see the point?

Thanks!

Data import feature has been planned for v1.2.0 and it will include import from CSV format. ".abp" is just a backup file extension indicating "aCar Backup Package" :-) Nothing to do with barcode file format. Of course ".abp" is actually a ZIP file which contains some XML representing the application settings, your data and some metadata. But it's not a good practice to edit its content and to add your data there (for import). I do not recommend this at all! If you can wait a while, you'll get a pretty clean import feature!
