Importing Lightwrite and not overwriting the show

Through some data hacking, excel macros, and finger crossing we were able to get a working LW5 export to import to our Eos (the biggest issue is that Device Type is a) Instrument type and b) listed as the actual fixture type- Soruce 4 19, Source 4 26 etc and not light).

When the console imports the LW file it creates a blank show.  We have a base show that we keep stored in the console with Macros, snapshots, subs already created.  Since we know we are only going to get patch data from LW why does the console assume all of the data is actually coming from LW and overwrite everything?

I know we can then merge all of the data back in but I feel as though that's adding unecessary steps.

Don't get me wrong though- I love the import from LW feature, that coupled with Query makes preprogamming a breeze!
