Typically, fifangdbmetaxml serves the following purposes:

def atomic_write(path: str, data: bytes): dirpath = os.path.dirname(path) or "." with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(dir=dirpath, delete=False) as tf: tf.write(data) tempname = tf.name os.replace(tempname, path) # atomic on POSIX and Windows (since Python 3.3)

Comparison of Manual vs. "Fix" Feature Manual Re-import Automated "Fix" Feature Slow (Full reload) (Incremental patch) Risk of losing custom mappings custom Genero attributes Difficulty High (Requires DB knowledge) for developers To proceed, would you like a Python script to perform this XML patching, or should I draft the UI requirements for the Genero Studio plugin?
