Merging Library Files

You can merge two or more VisiTrax library files into a single library file, using either of the procedures described below. Any number of VisiTrax library files can be merged together simply by repeating the process.

In either of these procedures, we will assume two library files name A.TRX and B.TRX (for fastest results, use the smaller file for B.TRX).

Merging with Copy / Paste

This easy procedure relies on the fact that the Tracks view contains every data field in the library (the other views only contain subsets of some sort).

1)        Start VisiTrax and open B.TRX.

2)        While in the Tracks view, copy the displayed tracks to the Windows clipboard by pressing Ctrl-C.

3)        Now open file A.TRX.

4)        Next, while in the Tracks view, paste the clipboard data by pressing Ctrl-V.

5)        After the data merge completes, check the results, then save.

Pressing Ctrl-C is equivalent to selecting Copy Every Column to Clipboard > Normal Text Format from either the Edit menu or the right-click menu.

Pressing Ctrl-V is equivalent to selecting Paste from Clipboard from either the Edit menu or the right-click menu.

Merging with a Text File

This procedure is not quite as convenient as the copy/paste method, but it does work just as well.

1)        Start VisiTrax and open B.TRX.

2)        Select Save As... from the File menu and save as a text file (B.TXT).

3)        Now open file A.TRX.

4)        Next, open file B.TXT. You'll be asked if you want to merge the data; choose Yes.

5)        After the data merge completes, check the results, then save as a .TRX file.
