The file-scanner is looking for journal-formatted files specifically. I don't think EDSM exports in the game's journal format. Although technically, my importer cheats and doesn't care if it's properly formatted JSON, as long as each jump is a line in the file containing a few of the right strings. Lots of ways that could be faked, I suppose. I might be able to add some capability to support additional formats too.
EDIT: Looking at EDSM, I see an export button for the flight log, but it wants to do the "importstars.txt" format, which is just a bunch of system names. I'd need a file that contains the actual coordinates for this, since it doesn't have access to the database.
