Importing data for print from Livesky from SS6

I sent some CSV observing list files to print from livesky, however none of my observations are recorded. Exactly how do I do this? The file automatically opens in Libre Office.

thanks!

    Currently downloading an observing list only downloads the list, not the observations (but see below).

    Right now we support exporting observations themselves to either CSV or the OAL (Open Astronomy Log) format.  Go to LiveSky and click your account in the upper right.  Choose "Import/Export" and then export to CSV.  This file can be opened in a spreadsheet for printing.

    Currently we only export *all* observations.  I hope to soon add support for exporting either all observations attached to a particular observing list, or all observation in a given session.  We should be able to implement this in the new few weeks.

    Thanks Bill,

    I tried this but it doesnt import/export all observations, it looks like only 1 list even when I select other observing lists. Looking forward to the new implementation to export from a specific list.

    We only ever export all of your observations at once (for now.) There's no way on that screen to select any lists, so I'm not entirely sure what you mean.

    When I open an observing list I have started, and ask to import/export I am getting obs from another list. Not the list I a, looking for.

    Can you send a few screenshots of what you're trying to do, and what you expect to see? I'm not sure I understand exactly what's going on.

    I am not sure a screenshot would help. Whenever I ask to import/export a list to print the same list comes up, not the one I have open and want to print.

    Observations are no longer stored with observing lists. Can you please take a screenshot of the button you're clicking, and perhaps attach the file you're getting after export?
