Import?
Hi, I looked at Nirvana about a year ago and was a big fan, but it didn't have a few features that I needed at the time.
My needs have changed and I am looking at importing from gqueues. Is there an import option for Nirvana2?

There is no import function at the moment. Only an export function is available.
The team has said in the past that they plan to implement an import function, but I do not know if this is still on their to do list or what the timeline for such a feature would be.

Phil is correct, no import at this time - but it is on the project list, although only about in the middle of the list at this point.

Once I turned on the bulk entry box it wasn't difficult to import all of my tasks via copy and paste. It took less than an hour to get everything into the inbox. And Nirvana makes processing so easy that in only took me about an hour to organize everything into projects and assign due dates. It kinda felt like a GTD refresher course and I came up with a lot of unrecorded tasks in the process.
I also came up with several terrific ideas for features that would make Nirvana even easier to use, but posting them is still on my someday/maybe list :)

How do you turn on the bulk entry box? I too am needing to import tasks...Mine are currently in an Excel worksheet.

@Chris, the 'rapid entry' setting is under preferences. I recommend you also check out this thread: http://help.nirvanahq.com/discussions/suggestions/1193-quicker-task.... Got some really helpful advice after the fact :)
