Generally, new users do have to take some
time learning how inventories work and what
you describe sounds like a slightly unsual
variation on a mistake that new users often
make once or twice and then get the hang of.

You haven't suggested any specific change here,
though. Did you have one in mind?

I managed to get my files into tla, thanx, but your answer does not cover the problem that reg-expes are 'stonger' then manually added IDs.

Even if that is covered in the tutorial, its so counter intuitive that I think its a bug.

you can only import once; but you can commit thereafter to correc the situation.

A suggestion, use tla inventory -s before importing, to ensure that you have the regexes the way you want them. IIRC this is covered in the tutorial.

While importing a tree I used 'tla add' for all files.
With 'tla import' I kept getting errors on files I did not add, but which were sources, so I started editing the =tagging-method file.

I made the mistake (after some frustration) to make the 'backup' rule completely empty (so all files were backup)
My reasoning for this was that files that were explicitly added were immume from regular expressions.

After a successfull tla import I noticed that absolutely no files were actually imported, which seems very wrong to me.

On a seperate note; I could only import one time, so this failure was non-recoverable. So far for tla import attempt number 10...
