Possibility to select separator for tokes imported from CSV  
Written by puohis the 7 May 10 at 14:47. Related project: 1.x all. Implemented
In Finland and in many other countries other than US use semicolon (;) as a list separator and LimeSurvey can only use comma (,) as list separator (US style) for CSV files.
Would be nice to be able to select which list separator to use, because Windows and Excel are so dummy that you can't select the separator when you are saving file from Excel to CSV. You can change the separator by setting it to Windows locale settings, but that affects all programs.

Easiest would be the option to choose the separator in the import dialog

Menu: "List Surveys"  
Written by m998dvd the 3 May 10 at 10:02. Related project: 1.x all. Implemented
When I make a Survey, I would like to see how many people have answered the survey.

In the menu "List Survey you see the following columns:
"Full responses" > "Partial responses" > "Total responses"

It's handy, but you can't see how much there are left, or how many surveys are untouched.

Selected solution (#1): "Total quests" in the menu: "List Surveys"
Written by m998dvd the 3 May 10 at 10:02.
It would be nice and handy, if there can be an extra column in this list and this next to "Total responses".

It would be easier to check and in one eye-view you see all the information that you needed.

"Full responses" > "Partial responses" > "Total responses" > "Total Requests".

Maybe one little thing after that requested column: "Percentage responded".

Is my invitations caught be spam filters?  
Written by lovepade the 16 Sep 10 at 18:16. Related project: 1.x all. New
Limesurvey's email capabilities are great. One crucial thing is missing though: Email tracking.

If an email adress is wrong I recieve a bounce. Thats great. But what if my email is never recieved? On dedicated servers this shouldn't be a problem - but on shared hosts, were you share an IP adress with severel others, theres is a chance that the IP adress at some point will be blacklisted by some emailproviders.

It could also be that you design your email with lots of pictures and "false" from headings, thus increasing your risc of being caught in spam folders.

But basically there is no way to know if a low response rate is due to lack of interest, og because people never read your invite.

Solution #1: embed a 1x1px token.jpg file in the invite mail
Written by lovepade the 16 Sep 10 at 18:16.
Embeding a unique picture in each email could solve the problem. In the token table, an extra column "read" could then indicate wether the person had open the email, and thus downloaded the token.jpg file from the server.

There should also be a view where "read" percentage for each survey gets listed.

gmail and other email providers block this kind of picture by default, so the solution is not bullet proof. But I think it's the best approach.

The approach is also sufficient, since we are mostly interested in seeing if the numbers all of sudden changes. I.e. it is not importen if 90 or 85% opens the email - but if the numbers drop to 50% we have a problem.

This is especially true in larger organisations, like universities wich sometimes have very strict filtering.
