but modifying them won't be possible.
unter File / File Information. (The TV seems to ignore bad checksums during the import and the official
Sony PC Editor ignores bad checksums and write incorrect ones, depending on the file format version)

- Samsung .zip loader: auto-detect UTF-16 endianness and allow to change encoding after loading to UTF-16 LE/BE
(some files use Little Endian format and show chinese characters when loaded with the default Big Endian format)
- Customized column order is now preserved across file formats and input sources
- Note about LG WebOS 5 files (e.g. CX series):
It is still unclear what exact firmware version and conditions are needed to properly import a channel list.
Users reported about varying success of an import, reaching from not possible at all, only after a factory reset,
importing the same list twice or working just fine.
The problems is not related to ChanSort, as it can be reproduced by exporting a list to USB, swapping channels
in the TV's menu and trying to loading the previously exported list back. The TV may keep the swapped channels and
show inconsistencies between the channel list in the settings menu and the EPG.

with an importet list (ChanSort now modifies less data in the file)
- Menu items for hide/unhide, skip/unskip, lock/unlock are now disabled when these features are not supported by the
channel list file format

most likely caused by exporting to a USB stick formatted with NTFS
- allow changing the "crypt" flag for Samsung .scm lists
- iterating through loaders supporting a file extension till one can read the file
