Hey this does work nicely, thanks...now I see it was there all the time
(at least in the 2.27 version)

The one "bug" that seemed to surface on merges besides the oddities I
hope I have worked around was that somewhere along the way of merging the
5 databases together I seem to have lost the jpg images that were in one.
(There were images in only one of them). The index seems to have been
preserved, but the images themselves were not included in the new
combined files. I was able to copy them from the old backups to the new
so there is now no losss. However, this bug should be addressed.

I do note that in splitting the files the images as appropriate for the
branch split off, do carry over. i.e. one image that was not appropriate
for the split off branch did not appear, but another that was did as it
should.
