Importing query & tags query

[boji]

Hello,

Firstly:

I've successfully imported my entries from LJ, but haven't tried to import anything from insane journal yet aside from icons. There are very few entries there which are anything other than a mirror of what was on LJ but the ones that differ have comments. The rest don't.

If I clicked the import comments: implies entries would I get the duplicate entries I don't want, or only the select few that have comments on them?

Secondly:

In regards to tags, over on LJ they seem to fill themselves in semi-automatically after the first few letters typed into the tag bar. That function doesn't seem to be working over here as yet - not on my tag entry page at least.

Is this a glitch?

Unless it's been fixed yet, if you've already imported from LJ, trying to import from IJ will result in dumping comments onto the wrong posts b/c of the way the importer works. So, I would suggest holding off on that until there's an update on the importer. (I found this bug when I was testing the importer, so I know that it actually happens, but I don't know if it's been fixed yet or not.)

The auto-complete for tags - it works for me here too.

Thank you for the clear info on the IJ/LJ import thing. I'm more than happy to wait - and as importantly to pass the news on. A friend over on LJ was pondering the same.

You're welcome. And keep an eye on dw_news for updates, since they're happening pretty regularly with Open Beta coming up in a week! *g*
