The latest Magrit patch version (2.3.3) actually conceals a major improvement (hopefully!).
The join modal has been improved, following a suggestion from @ktrinko (thanks to him!), to enable better visualization of records for which a match has not been found (as well as their line number, so you can easily find which cells to edit if necessary).
A few options for normalizing the identifiers have also been added (case insensitivity, removal of diacritics, spaces and hyphens).
