 * Hello, Tobias, thank you for this great plugin.
 * Is there any way to keep the first row a table after importing new data?
    I’m
   using the “Replace existing table” option because I don’t need the old data, 
   but the names of the columns are on the first row and are edited in table editor.
   I want to preserve that row and not the one on the imported file. Hope you can
   help me. Thanks in advance.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * No, sorry, that’s not possible. The “Replace existing table” option can only 
   replace the entire table, and not just parts of it.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
