The interface looks great and the options that are there are intuitive and quick but ultimately though, in order for Topsoil to gain any traction from users a much more detailed table is needed so that a user can select things off/on according to name, U content, discordance, a cluster of old/young analyses etc.
In an ideal world I would love to be able to import ANY csv (or txt etc) file, and the column headers (given in the first row of the csv) are automatically placed in row 2 of the Topsoil datatable. Then I could define which of those columns are x, sigmax, y, sigma y and rho for use in a PbU or ThU plot.
In the meantime I know it takes time to build these things but if these sorts of things are in the works and in the Wiki you mention to potential users that these features are forthcoming they might be more willing to invest testing time up front.
