Not all events pulling in from .evt

[David Lustig]

Trying to Create Races from my lynx .evt file and only half are populating. Using newest ART version. Tried restarting and updating .evt as well. Thoughts?

Can you send the file to me and let me know which races didn't pull in? I'll try it on my computer and let you know what I find.

When pulling from an evt, if all of the races are named the same (ie 5000m), the software will only pull over one race. If you rename each individual race and use a unique name for each, it'll create them all.

I should have posted an update on this thread with what we found earlier today.  Blueridge is exactly right, as the software is reading the file, it will only pull in races it thinks it doesn't already have. If it finds a match, it assumes you're simply doing a participant sync and it will add/update the participants in the existing race.

There is value in being able to re-import an entire .evt file to sync the participant list for a current or upcoming race, however I did update the software today so that when it's looking for matching races it will only look for races with the same name and a scheduled start date that is "today" or some time in the future. So with the next update, if you import a Hytek .evt file that has the exact same race name of an older race in ART, it will still create a new race and associate the participants with it as expected. :)
