How to get my data back - RainbowFish - 02-07-2023

Help! We have two profiles on OSCAR and I downloaded the wrong CPAP's SD card into my profile.  I removed the day's data, but evidently I need to do more than plug in and re-download off the SD card to fill it back in. How do I find the correct files to reload the days affected?  Is it the rebuild function?  The pop-up warning scares me, so I thought I would ask before trying to use it. 

Running Windows 11 Home on Surface Pro

Wait! Now I reopened OSCAR and everyone's data is in the correct place. Maybe there is a trick to changing profiles?
Maybe I did put the data is the correct profile, but it is a display glitch ('cause I thought I was being careful)? I think this is more likely, but I have not seen OSCAR misassign data profiles before, and wonder if this is a known behavior?

I think you need to open the Profile you want to download to first, then insert your SD card.

If there are multiple profiles, you should open up File->Preferences and click on the Import tab. Down near the bottom left you will find "Automatically open last used profile on start up". Make sure that has not got a tick mark. Then the Profile page will open at start up, and give you a chance to select the profile you want to use. After importing and evaluating that data, you can go back to the Profile tab and select a different profile to work with.

An update. I think the answer when there is unexpected results from the wrong profile is to close and reopen OSCAR. Not sure how I got the display tangled up, but everyone went back to normal when I shut the program down and restarted it

I think I have a more definitive answer. I had it happen again today. It seems to lose its place if I am looking at both profiles and then try to download data off my Wellue ring. But, if I purge the misassigned O2 data and close and reopen the program with the correct person on startup, OSCAR has no problem assigning the data to the right profile.
