XPORT have a different structure than SAS7BDAT and need unsupported seek mode. So for now, let's force the "dump to file" option to handle them.
When dumping them to file, we modified the method
read_schema()to detect the format and use the correct source of metadata.PS : Right now, there is a custom field to specify between sas7bdat or xport format. Maybe the plugin could detect it automatically ? (and also avoid getting an error message everytime a xport file is getting loaded, before specifying its format)
