[Programming Help] - Cannot access .csv file symbol with Add Additional Symbol study

The Add Additional Symbol study does not seem to read data for symbols I've created that have in .csv format. Is that by design?

On a related note, I probably could have new records formatted in .scid format as they come in instead of the comma delimited format I currently use. If I did get the formatting done, is adding new records to an existing .scid file just like adding to a .csv file (add the new records to the end of the file)? Thanks.

I'm having more critical problems using text files and want to instead go to .scid files. The importing data link is useful, but doesn't explain what I need to know. After I have created the .scid files for custom instruments, I want to update these files every minute or so. Closing my regular broker connection to do this is impractical.

Is it possible to add new records to an existing .scid file? (I assume it is, because that is what all data feeds into Sierra Charts do). How is this accomplished without disconnecting from my broker feed?
