[TYPO3-templavoila] T3D: import, but mapping information for my DS/TO is missing

Hi Xavier,

...why should i only convert the contents of the serialized array in
that field from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8? And not the complete field data?

My target TYPO3 installation is UTF-8 (TYPO3, connection and database) -
php unserialize() works for UTF-8 input, too (as far as i know).

Anyway. I copied the complete field data in phpMyAdmin in my DEV system
(ISO-8859-1) to my windows clipboard and then paste it in phpMyAdmin of
my LIVE system, which stores it as UTF-8. I did that for my 20
TV-TemplateObjects. This saves me from remapping 500 TV TO mapping
fields. It works.

I´m interested in your extension. Can you make it public or send it to me?
