XMI import enhancement

[Richard Phillips]

I have just had the misfortune to unintentionally overwrite some stuff in a package when importing the same package from an updated off-side instance of the model.

I would like ea to automatically export the package before deleting it when you perform an XMI import. That way you can easily restore to the same point before the package import was carried out.

This should be an easy enhancement and would save many man hours locating backups or re-creating deleted material.

Hey, how about an improved undo?

Richard,

I don't agree, exporting a backup of the packages to be deleted would mean a serious performance penalty for a part that is already very bad on performance.

Add an option to backup before delete that I don't mind, but not automatically.

An improved undo function would always be nice of course, as long as it doesn't come with a performance penalty.

Is there a fix for this?  I (foolishly) imported an XMI file over my model and now the whole thing is gone.  I can see the stuff is still in the *.eap file, though.  And sadly (and foolishly), I do not have any back-ups of it.
