OK, well this is good, but it leaves me a bit puzzled. I have three distinct questions.

1. Before I attempted to re-import the names.txt file, it was working fine (meaning it was drawing names from the files I had modified when I created the universe). So, it wasn't that I only got names from some internal file -- they were coming from where I wanted them. But not now (issue only when reimport happened).

2. If the re-import doesn't work (or you can't), then what is the button there for?

3. Is there any way to fix the issue with my current league (or am I limited to restoring my last backup)?

And, while I'm at it ...

Even if the program for some strange reason was using its own names file rather than mine, why would it name 30 of the 130 newly created players Fedchenko, 34 of the 130 newly created players MacCaig, and 27 of 130 newly created players Alexandravisla??

So, where do I go from here?

Continued thanks...
