Local terms are ignored if Goodreads returns none #33

I've created a characters & settings XML file using the built-in feature. However, when trying to create X-Ray, it checks Goodreads which comes up empty and then the process seems to continue with 0 terms. At least there's not a single person or setting in the resulting xray file.

Did you have File selected as the source or was it still set to Goodreads? Can you post the log?
I just gave it a try by creating an XML of terms, switching to File, opening the XML, then building, and it worked ok. The whole process/interface for the XML stuff isn't great though.

I was under the impression that it merges the local aliases with the ones it got from Goodreads before processing. But I tried it with File selected now it indeed works - I just had to manually enter the path to the correct file. So yeah, the UX could use some improvements. :wink:
