When resulted file is in sheet format, there are no respective cells when last columns are empty (null). Correct sheet should have same number of delimiters/columns in each row independently from existence/validity respective columns. It is critical e.g. when you want to import that sheet to DB. Thus, additional formatting (after Mediainfo) is needed.

    Lesser priority because this is "should" instead of "must".
    "Each line should contain the same number of fields throughout the file."

    Accepted.

    Warning: non-paid bugs are set to low priority, I don't know when I have time to handle it.
    If you desire to accelerate the development, don't hesitate to contact me for a quotation.

    'Must' is really hard in English. But I can say 'must' instead 'should' because it is csv sheet format requirement.

    > because it is csv sheet format requirement.

    I don't understand. This is "should" --> This is *not* a rfc4180 CSV requirement, only a recommandation.
    http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt
    " SHOULD This word, or the adjective "RECOMMENDED", mean that there
    may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a
    particular item"
    --> Your tool *must* accept the file I output, because it is valid. Not recommended, but valid.

    Yes, I know I should change it because there is no big reason (my reason was file size, tiny reason), this is the reason the ticket is set to "Accepted".

    Thank you in advance.

    I have experienced with CSV format only in Excel and sqlite - there is there the same number of columns generated and required in sqlite. I have added missing columns by awk but the awk is not for Unicode and it could be problem.
