I use the GOVSS feature to track and plan my running training volume, but there's a large inconvenience in the workflow I use as it stands right now.
I use Garmin trainging center to auto-download and organize my track logs, and export workouts as .tcx to analyze in Topofusion. I also use an autolap feature to get automatic 1 mile laps taken.
Unfortunately, a .tcx with laps taken appears to topofusion as a number of separate tracks within the same file. I can use the merge tool to connect them before analysis, but this is somewhat cumbersome for repeated loops or out-and-backs.
Could there be an option added to the merge tool to automatically merge multiple tracks within one file sorted by time? Or a detection routine that would merge on .tcx import if the files are seperated by only a single sample/few seconds?
Actually, another small annoyance is that the GOVSS analysis doesn't warn you if you're analyzing a file with multiple tracks, and returns info based only on the first track within that file. Took me a while to figure out my GOVSS numbers were only for my first mile of each run!
Thanks for any input on this,
Ethan O'Connor

We'll come up with something to make it either auto-merge, or have a function to quickly merge stuff.
