Import found set

[rivet]

Please confirm that in FMP6 if you were importing from another FMP6 file it would only import the found set from the source file. But now with FMP7 it ignores the found set and import all records.

is the a bug, or a new way of doing things

This change is noted somewhere in the documentation. If the file you are importing from is open, it imports the found set. If the file is not open, it imports all records.

The big question here is Which Found set....

With multiple windows open we can have more than one found sets. I would almost think that because of this, it would necessitate the import of all records because the particular found set is ambiguous.

But then again... I haven't experimented

"The big question here is Which Found set..."

A: whichever found set is in the current window.

If it's a scripted process then the developer needs to keep track of the whole process -- change to table, find records, import; leave nothing undefined or to chance.

If it's unscripted then it's the user's responsibility.

thanks guys, I missed the source relationship (the source file is a conversion from 6) in the import window

Imports from open files are from the frontmost open window of the table occurrence. If no windows are open for the TO then an import will be all records
