minor undocumented bug (sort of)
for those of us who have modifed the Users (and perhaps other) tables extensively, and may have moved them to other databases, the Import script will read the def file, but _ignore_ the 'database' line. It will look for the table in the default links (?) database, not the location specified in the .def file.

Well, you're partially right - what it does is look at the Category def file, and use all that information for connecting. This isn't really a bug - it was intended to work that way. However, seeing how it is possible that some people may want to do something like this, it has been "fixed" for the next version.

Always better to make things work as "expected" rather than some arbitrary default. Since the database is listed in each file, using database.table avoids the obscure errors down the road.
