Some CSV files have as first line:
sep=;

Excel included uses this first line to determine the seperator (do a google search). It can then seperate the text automatically without running the import wizard (huge timesaver)
However, when i read a file like this in Quick CSV viewer, it complains.
Maybe you can adjust the code, so it supports this first line ?

    The idea of the quick viewer was to determine the delimiter on its own, usually resolving the right delimiter is a relatively quick process as it only reads the first 100 lines to make a decision. The row with the information should actually be skipped.
    In one of the next versions I will take it into consideration how to best support this though.

    I have added a recognition of the delimiter by looking at the first line.
