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.
