Summary
Introduce an "additive" import option to allow users to import new items without deleting the existing ones, while replacing only those with conflicting IDs. This would provide users with more flexibility during the import process.
Current Behavior
Currently, the app replaces all existing items during an import, even if there are no conflicts. This approach can result in the loss of non-conflicting data, which may not always be desirable.
Proposed Feature
Add a checkbox labeled "Additive Import" in the import dialog. When selected:
- New items are added to the database without deleting existing ones.
- Items with conflicting IDs are updated/replaced.
- Non-conflicting existing items remain unaffected.
