Hi I found problems importing a BLAST file in txt format with MEGAN6. The message is: Execute failed: java.io. IOException. File not a BLASTN file in text format. The stange is that the same file is imported by MEGAN 5

The file imports just fine.
Please make sure that you set the “Format” to BlastTab and the “Mode” to BlastN in the Import from Blast dialog. At present MEGAN wrongly detects the “Format” as RDP, which is incorrect.

Are you sure that you used the mapping file nucl_acc2tax-Mar2018.abin for taxonomic mapping?

Dear @Daniel,

I have a problem importing my BLAST files too. This is the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w141xel83e3lzij/new-blast.txt?dl=0

Is there a problem with the format of my BLAST file?
