When importing CSV, automatically create plates

  • The plate names would be the same as what's in the file column headers
  • src or dest would the same as the column header; if not clear, then let the user select that as well, or...
  • Might ask user to assign WHICH column is the source column and which is the dest column
  • Can limit the number of plates created to something like 20 or 50 just to avoid some weird parsing issue
  • Won't know plate format, so ask user to select it for each plate

I think that it would create more work to ask that the user select the plate type each time, and in the case of typos / slightly different plate names, you're going to accidentally generate new plates. Unless we add this as a separate override button, which I see as more doable. Still, I'm not sure that I'm fond of adding multiple ways to create plates; I think it might be better to have one consistent way. I don't typically like software that has a million different ways to do the same thing.
