4.2.7.8 Merging duplicate sections or settings
The Configuration Manager detects duplicate sections
in a file, and duplicate settings in a section, and warns you about them
on the Action page; inviting you
to fix them by selecting for you, under MERGE
duplicate items, one of the following:
Merge duplicate
sections in one file
|
The Configuration Manager moves the second instance
of the duplicate section to a position immediately after the first, and
comments out the second section heading. The effect is to include all
settings from both sections in the first section, possibly resulting
in duplicate settings. You get a chance to edit the merged section.
|
Merge duplicate settings in one section
|
The Configuration manager edits the first of
the duplicated settings to show the value you select on the Finish
page, then comments out the second setting, even if the second was the
one that had the correct value. This is because only the first of duplicate
settings in a section has any effect.
|
Click Apply action;
the Configuration manager switches to the .ini
file page, where the offending section name or setting value
shows in the Value column for
the highlighted file that contains the duplicates.
