    Okay I tried it again with the full import and it did work
    correctly.  I can only assume that a Linux Mint update fixed my
    problem since that time.<br>
    Thanks for looking at the problem, even though it turned out to be
    nothing.<br>

      I tried it again on a new test database (Linux Mint Package on
      VirtualBox Windows)<br>
      It was an APPEND.<br>
      <br>
      This time I tried it without importing all the fields, just a few.
      (Table used "|", for end of record "~")<br>
      Album, Artist, Genre, Label, Purchase Price, Track<br>
      <br>
      It worked fine.<br>
      <br>
      This is the amount of fields I transferred before:<br>
      "Album", "Artist", "Composers", "Release Year", "Length", "Genre",
      "Categorized", "Label", "No of Tracks", "ID", "Cat Number",
      "Chorus", "Condition", "Conductor", "Country", "Cover Back",
      "Cover Front", "Cover", "Set#", "of Set", "Extras", "Format",
      "Musicians", "Notes", "Orchestra", "Original Release Date",
      "Original Release Year", "Packaging", "Purchase Price",
      "Producer", "Release Date", "Sound", "Studio", "Barcode", "Track
      Entries"<br>
      <br>
      Unfortunately, I don't have time to try the full import, because
      it takes awhile to make and match all the fields.<br>

            <div>I've been poking at the default fields and how they
              might restrict importing or become inconsistent with
              additional columns in the table. So far I haven't seen a
              bug like you describe.  Could you possibly give me more
              detailed steps to reproduce it? Something like</div>
            <div>1. Existing Tellico collection - add additional columns
              to the Tracks field</div>
            <div>2. CSV file to import, with data in those additional
              columns</div>
            <div>3. Import CSV file - appending or merging?</div>
            <div>4. Data appears good, but after saving and re-opening,
              the imported data is missing?</div>
