Merge or create all new - when importing XML files

When I import an .xml file, I need to answer a question, whether I want to merge instruments to existing ones, or want to create all new. Is there a setting where I can set it for the future avoiding 2 click what makes quite a lot if I do it 10 times a day? It is not very important question, I know, but don’t want to miss something and discovering it say ten years later:)

10 years, 3.650 days or 36.500 clicks later. It does add up…

or 2.5 clicks an hour (assuming 8 hour work day).

Still, I insist on my question!:)))) why should I click 3.500 per 1.000.000 years if I can NOT click?:slight_smile: is there any setting to save my precious :grinning: time (3 mins per 1.000 year)???

There is none, no setting yet. One has to use these click moments as an opportunity of contemplation :thinking:

Very disappointing:) the moment when I start a new project lifting from Finale on beloved Dorico is typically the time of non-contemplative attitude, more a stir of excitement and curiousity, but will practice to radiate all my keeness toward these two sacred clicks:))))

Don’t import. Just open the xml in Dorico as a new file.

I need my bespoken settings, so I have a Dorico read only file carefully prepared and I import everything into that. Is there any better way to do this?
