Export: Output table data in a readable format to a CSV* file which may be read in Excel, OpenOffice or similar.
Import: Imports new data to your site from a CSV* file.
Update: Updates existing data in your site from a CSV* file.
*Alternatively, you may specify any other delimiter to suit your data.
All tasks are easily configurable to extend to the entire Joomla database.
As supplied, Jix can import and export all users, contact details, sections, categories & articles.
Warning: Jix is a powerful tool designed for use only by Joomla Super Administrators with an excellent understanding of the Joomla database.
If used incorrectly, your website could be corrupted or destroyed.
Back up your system before use.

This is the most powerful extension I ever use, with same help from Peter I was able to load more than 1000 files with different users access and description. All other autopopulate for DOCman don't allow to import date from csv therefore if you need different description for every file and different user permissions you need to do it one by one. With JIX it takes you a few minutes, just prepare your csv file upload your files throw ftp and press import on the DOCman menu in JIX and they are there.
Thanks again, Peter your JIX it's the best.

Hallo
This is good extention. Easy to use and do what it says. May be trouble with virtual hosting, because of permissions.
Why 4 stars: -maybe not convinient way of usage(not clear manual about files' extentions)
-published date is fixed
-fields for import are fixed (maybe I can't understand something)
Great thanks to author. It's the only free extention of this kind which I make to work.

Thanks for you feedback.
In fact the import fields aren't fixed. Import new fields in the Jix Fields table and you'll be able to import those fields as well.

After a little work I successfully managed to import 50+ users from a csv file, here is a tip, don't use Excel. This is a great tool for anyone trying to import data from a CSV file into the Joomla contacts/users db. Great potential to be a must have Joomla dev tools.

Thanks also for the review.
I cerainly found Excel to be very unrealiable with CSV files and worse with other delimited files. I use the Open Office spreadsheet program very good though quite slow.
