Summary18482: Participant CSV import error
Description

Limesurvey seems to decide if a file is of CSV type only on the basis of its extension, but not all programs use .CSV sometimes, it can be .TXT, this generates errors that are not clear for the user and above all it generates errors that are not errors.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce

First, create a CSV file with .TXT extension (or whatever than .CSV).

Open a survey, go to "participants", click "create" and "CSV file".
In the dialog who display, choose the CSV file with the .TXT exention.

Expected result

The CSV file is processed no mater its extension.

Actual result

An error message.

TagsNo tags attached.

I think we don't need to check extension expect if we can't read the document.

  1. Try to read the document => success, go ahead.
  2. Error => check the extension
  3. Extension isn't one of the 3 you say => error message, "file must be CSV".
