.csv data input including SMILES [message #575]

Dear Thomas,

while importing comma-separated tables including a column containing SMILES,
I noticed DataWarrior (version 5.0.0; running in Linux) appears to work well
starting with the second line of the table only. It is not an issue related
to file endings which could be resolved by the user by unix2dos. Apparently,
DataWarrior expects the first line to be a header; which currently is not
described-as-such in the online manual pages "Loading Data into DataWarrior".

Example of hampered reading of a .csv file lacking an explicit header:
index.php?t=getfile&id=61&private=0

Example of reading a .csv file containing explicit header:
index.php?t=getfile&id=62&private=0

Dear Norwid, thank you for the hint. DataWarrior does a minimum data analysis trying to figure out whether there is a header line or not. I will improve this check and also update the manual to explain.
