Hi Artyom,

I couldn't reproduce this when all parameters in the ascii config dialog are correct.
But it is very easy to enter invalid data which prevents the loading:

     Data starts at line         1
     Read field names from line  1

With this setting to line 1 in both cases it also doesn't load the data here,
maybe you had the same error.

I've uploaded a new release candidate which catches such invalid configurations:
