losing annotations when merging
Hi,<br><br>I have two logfiles (csv), each one holding several tiers with data, one etf with extra tiers that are empty and should be used for annotation, and a video file. <br><br>I have tried the following:<br><br>new file<br>select video, audio and etf<br>save as tmp1.eaf<br><br>import first csv, <br>save as tmp2.eaf<br><br>import second csv<br>save as tmp3.eaf<br><br>open tmp2.eaf<br>merge with tmp3.eaf<br>save as tmp4.eaf<br><br>open tmp1.eaf (video + emty tiers)<br>merge with tmp4.eaf (first + second csv)<br>save as vp1.eaf<br><br>now I have the video and all tiers but some tiers are empty while they had up to 200 entries before merging and others have lost 2 third of the entries.<br><br>Any idea what's going wrong?<br><br>Thanks<br>
Re: losing annotations when merging
found out myself: annotations can not be of length 0.<br>As it happens, I have logged several events with equal start and end time. Although it is possible to import these when merging with another file those entries are lost.<br>
Re: Re: losing annotations when merging
Yes, annotations are supposed to have a non-zero duration. This sounds like there is a bug in the import from csv function. We will check this.
