BZ 1548: "Re-import Name and Ethnicity Database" is still broken
After extenstive tests it has become obvious that the "Re-import Name and Ethnicity Database" function in Game Setup is still broken. It works only temporarily and for one session at a time. It does not do what it is supposed to do, which is replace the name and ethnicity files in an existing league with the ones on your computer.
I have experimented with roster sets created by others, quickstarts created by others, and templates created by others. In no case was I able to make a permanent change to the name and ethnicity files by using the re-import function. It would work fine for one session, and the next session, if I failed to do an immediate re-import upon starting the league up again, names and ethnicities not in any database on my computer would appear. Last night a league, for example, was suddenly overrun with Swedes. There are no Swedish names anywhere on my computer.
This is the one thing I asked for in OOTP9. It didn't happen. The files are imported for one session only, and are not saved.
Markus, can you slay this dragon once and for all, please?

According to OOTP itself, OOTP MLB play (modern and historical) outnumbers OOTP fictional play three to one.
Five thousand thanks for a non-modder? I never thought I'd see the day. Thank you for your support.
