AW: [sw-l] SignPuddle - how to change a given sign

[Anne-Claude Prélaz Girod]

I would benefit from the explanations too...
  I often have problems... when there are several signs for one word...
and when I want to keep one of them... if I only delete the one I don't
want ... no problem... but if I delete all but one and then change the
names... I always get the first sign coming back


example: if I have HOUSE / HOUSE_1 / and HOUSE_2...... and I would like
to keep HOUSE_1.... I first delete HOUSE and HOUSE_2... and then if I
want to replace the name HOUSE_1 to get  simply HOUSE.... the sign that
was registered for HOUSE (first version I had deleted) reappears when I
push the "rename" button (and I loose my HOUSE_1 sign!!!)

Am I doing anything wrong ??

Let me know
