Configuration

A GUI is then launched allowing the configuration of this operation, defining:

  • if as a result a new Dictionary will be created or not.
    • In the first case (Yes), the operation allows two dictionaries to be used as sources (referred below as first source and second source). In this case, the dictionary name (and optionally notes) have to be filled (panel in the bottom)
    • In the latter case, the selected target Dictionary will receive the elements from the source dictionary.
  • the (first) source dictionary
  • the set of classes from the source/first resource that will be merged.
    • If the user selects no above, the classes for the target dictionary can not be selected, since these are automatically assumed
    • If the user selects yes above, the classes for the second source dictionary can also be selected in the right panel
