Description
If you take a CSV file of format
timestamp,value1,value2,value3,...
with equal numbers of values per line, and load it in SV, you will by default get a Colour 3D Plot layer with a column for each row of the file, containing value1, value2, value3 etc.
But if the timestamps are not equally spaced, this layer will not accurately reflect the data -- a Colour 3D Plot layer always has equally-spaced columns and they will all be spaced according to (I think) the first couple of lines in the file.
The import dialog should, at the very least, give you a big warning that your layer is not going to contain what you think it is.
