Import Dialog

Calls an "Open" dialogue box to import a BASIC dialog file.

If the imported dialog has a name that already exists in the library, you see a message box where you can decide to rename the imported dialog. In this case the dialog will be renamed to the next free "automatic" name like when creating a new dialog. Or you can replace the existing dialog by the imported dialog. If you click Cancel the dialog is not imported.

Dialogs can contain localisation data. When importing a dialog, a mismatch of the dialogs' localisation status can occur.

If the library contains additional languages compared to the imported dialog, or if the imported dialog is not localised at all, then the additional languages will silently be added to the imported dialog using the strings of the dialog's default locale.

If the imported dialog contains additional languages compared to the library, or if the library is not localised at all, then you see a message box with Add, Omit, and Cancel buttons.

• Add: The additional languages from the imported dialog will be added to the already existing dialog. The resources from the library's default language will be used for the new languages. This is the same as if you add these languages manually.
• Omit: The library's language settings will stay unchanged. The imported dialog's resources for the omitted languages are not copied into the library, but they remain in the imported dialog's source files.
