Fields Delimiter page has some important settings. Check them to ensure proper configuration.
First option is delimiter character. Most popular delimiters are comma (,), semicolon (;) and tab character ( ) however other symbols can be used as well.
X-Cart Export file is usually generated for further import. If incorrect delimiter is specified during import, file will not be parsed properly and products will not be imported. Second option. Quote string values is used to separate strings in CSV file.
Third setting is category delimiter. This is not native .csv setting, it is used only in Store Manager. As you know categories are organized in a form of tree, where one category can contain one or more subcategories and subcategory can contain one or more other categories. Category delimiter character is used to separate category names and specify full category tree path for given product. Category path is very similar to directory path, used to specify full file name in Windows, where every directory separated by backslash (\) character like this one C:\\Program Files\eMagicOne\Store Manager for X-Cart\.
As for example category path for "Test Subcategory" (see image below) will be X-Cart Products|XCart Services|Test Subcategory. Pipe (|) character was used as separator.
Images - Default images path is the exact place to store image files.
