Release information

[filchef]

The date you used to use in the 'reset blockchain' screen, you can just use the same date in the import file.
It only has to be before the date of the first transaction, which you could look up from a block explorer.

So this is true but you can try just one time if this check is not passable you can do noting - key is already imported so I don't know how program work and if I import again the same private key with different date if program will start to reset blokchain again from this date - and you know some time you have to 3-4 time reset blockchain for satisfactory  result .
So for another think you right but you can keep minimum thinks for advanced users like import and export private keys.
