This brings up two questions:
1. Are the records in the new library renumbered by the
process of importing into another library, as they are when
they are copied and pasted into a new library? If so, this
is not really a feasible option for compacting a library.
2. A database compaction function, which would simply eliminate
these released spaces, is greatly needed. Is it in the works?
Please put it on the wish list.
