When importing HMNotes files into HEM, does the imported note overwrite any existing note or append the contents to end?

I suspect the former but would be nice if it's the later.

They are merged.
It will add the info from note A that isn't written in note B and vice versa.

DO BACKUP both your notes (by exporting them) before you attempt this.


It will actually either ignore or append the note. What it does is it looks to see if the imported note is already part of the current note and if so it ignore. If not it will append to the existing note.

So ,if in the DB a player has a note "he is a fish" and then you try to import a note that simply says "fish" it will ignore it since "fish" is contained within "he is a fish". If the imported note said "fishy" then his new note would be

"he is a fish
fishy"

Great. So just to clarify if I have two notes:
1/1/11. iso's fish in position

and


3/1/11. fishy out of position

how would they merge? just appear beneath each other?

They would merge as:



1/1/11. iso's fish in position
3/1/11. fishy out of
