2017/01/01, 01:01:40, 118.9170

etc. (file is much more longer).

I see a blue progress bar that seems to indicate that SC is loading the file, but I see nothing on the chart and nothing in the Edit-Tool (all fields are empty).

Any hints would be helpful.

This data format looks fine. However, you are running an older version of Sierra Chart. You must update the current version for the most up-to-date import functionality:
Software Download: Fast Update

You are not going to see any chart until the time the import is complete.

Thank you: I updated to 1659.

Still only an empty chart visible but now I can see the date in the intraday editor.

Data is stored in a file named text.txt as shown above.

Message Log says:

TEXT 1 Min #4 | Reloading chart. | 2017-12-06 14:44:53
TEXT 1 Min #4 | Currently no data in file to display. Will start historical data download and real-time updates. File: C:\Tradingtools\SierraChart\Data\text.scid | 2017-12-06 14:44:53

Currently I'm in free mode, could this be the reason ?
