3.2.7.8 Merging duplicate sections or settings
The Configuration Manager detects duplicate sections
in a file, and duplicate settings in a section, and warns you about them
on the Action page; inviting you to fix them by selecting for
you, under MERGE duplicate items, one of the following:
Merge duplicate sections in one file
|
The Configuration Manager moves the second instance
of the duplicate section to a position immediately after the first, and
comments out the second section heading. The effect is to include all
settings from both sections in the first section, possibly resulting
in duplicate settings. You get a chance to edit the merged section.

Merge duplicate settings in one section

The Configuration manager edits the first of the duplicated
settings to show the value you select on the Finish page, then
comments out the second setting, even if the second was the one that
had the correct value. This is because only the first of duplicate settings
in a section has any effect.

Click Apply action; the Configuration manager
switches to the .ini file page, where the offending section name
or setting value shows in the Value column for the highlighted
file that contains the duplicates.
