How does one split lumped sources after an RM9 direct import

Post by Gary_G » 25 Mar 2023 20:13

I've imported my RM9 database to FH7, but my sources need to be split to conform to the paradigm that FH7 and associated tools tend to use.

I understand that the current plugin, "Lumped Source Splitter v1.2", was not meant to handle direct imports. I'm sure there will be an update at some point, but I think I'm going to have to do this some other way at the moment.

I know it's not as easy as unchecking that a template field pertains to the citation portion. So; I thought I'd best ask if someone else has found a safe and efficient way to do this, rather than charge off in the wrong direction.

If I have to do so, I will re-enter all my references. However; I REALLY hope it won't come to that.

Gary, I notice that you have not yet responded to Mark (the plugin author) in this topic Using Lumped Source Splitter v1.2 on RM9 Imported Sources (21719) where he asked you to post an image of a typical citation from one of your sources. There may well be "an update at some point" but he needs further input from you, to help him assess what is required.

Lorna;
I didn't receive a notification of his request, but only heard of it via a colleague.
I've provided the requested screenshot.
