This is the way how data plugins work right now.  Checking for added
symbols on startup for example is too expensive (in terms of performance)
because QP2 does not provide any means to access "new or renamed" symbols.
To access them you need to scan through entire database and compare
with what you already have (even this is not perfect in case of renamed symbols).
Implementing such a feature will increase loading time considerably.

Yes, currently watch lists importer expects just the ticker list (symbols only) 
without quotes. 
Such like "SRB Only.LST" file installed by default by Quotes Plus
program in Lists\QP_Lists folder.
To import other formats you have to use ASCII importer.
