I have several data files (.fwb) with multiple objects. How can I merge them together so I could continue working with one file instead of many?
Open one file in the Firewall Builder GUI, then use main menu function “File/Import library” to import other files one at a time. Despite its name, this function can import both regular data files (.fwb) and library files (.fwl). Note that the program identifies objects by their iternal unique IDs rather than by name. This means two objects can have the same name, which is probably inconvenient and should be avoided, but is not at problem per se. On the other hand, if you happen to have objects with the same ID in two data files, you can not import one such file into another. In fact, if you try to do that, the program will detect the conflict and present you with a dialog asking you to choose which object of the two you want to keep. This may be a problem if these two objects have different parameters (such as for example two network objects with the same ID but different IP address). Situation like this may happen if you make a copy of the data file and continue working with both the
