The module does not seem to support adding nested terms. Within the mass import textarea, any indentation of the terms, with spaces or hyphens, does not seem to make a difference. Is the nesting of terms supported?

Title: How to nest terms? » Support mass import/creation of nested terms.

It's not supported AFAICT, so I'm changing this to a feature request because I'd like to see that too. Supported formats could be leading hyphens or spaces as Michael already suggested:

animals
-canine
--dog
--wolf
-feline
--cat
--tiger
--lion

I like this idea as well :-)
Spend some time this afternoon implementing it, you can find this feature in the latest dev snapshot.

Thanx Matthias! ...this works like a charm ;)

Don't mind if I suggest a few extras though while I'm at it (let me know if you want me to file separate issues for these):

- How about also allowing export of the tags list in this format? So, change the "CSV Export" button to a generic "Export" button and allowing users to choose the format csv/plain-text list though a drop-down.

- Allow the "Add" section to also accept the products of a csv export. In other words allow the text box to also accept:

"1";"2";"animals";"";"0"
"1";"3";"canine";"";"2"
"1";"5";"wolf";"";"3"
"1";"4";"dog";"";"3"
"1";"6";"feline";"";"2"
"1";"7";"cat";"";"6"
"1";"9";"lion";"";"6"
"1";"8";"tiger";"";"6"

Thanks for the suggestions! Can you open a separate feature request for that?

Yep, the current CSV export doesn't make much sense, as there is no way to re-import it. Having the same export format as we have in the mass import should be easy, although we would have troubles with multi parents and would insert them as separate terms. Importing the original CSV format might be more complex, and I think it would be better to let other modules, like Taxonomy CSV and Taxonomy XML, handle that (I even think Taxonomy CSV has some support for this special format).
