If a CSV contains an empty column, only a few nodes and edges are imported. It is very easy to create an empty column: just let a semi-column at the end of each line. It generally happens with an Excel export.

Sample:

Source;Target;Start;End;
a;b;2011-05-18;2011-05-18;
c;d;2011-05-24;2011-05-24;
c;d;2011-01-23;2011-01-23;
c;e;2011-05-24;2011-05-24;
c;f;2011-05-24;2011-05-24;
c;g-05-29;2011-05-29;

Currently the user should only uncheck the column before import, but it would be nice to detect such case: if the column doesn't have a name, it is automatically dropped.
