No "Merge" dialog for Import

Post by hscohen »

I am trying to merge two Diving Log 6.0.4 logbooks (attached here). When I try to Import Diving Log, the Merge command is greyed out. If I import, the imported logbook just replaces the old logbook.

Hi

The merge feature works only when importing SQLite files. If you want to use it, you can export one logbook to SQLite and import that into the other logbook with the merge function.

But this is normally not necessary and I don't recommend it. The import function will not overwite anything in your currently opened logbook and it won't be replaced. Please check again your data after the import, it's not possible that anything is replaced or overwritten.

Kind regards,
Sven

Thanks, Sven, for your quick response! The Import window is somewhat confusing, but I finally managed to use it correctly. My logbooks are now combined.
