I sent the file via email to the Windows PC then drag and drop to the location
BrickSync needs a BSX file, not an xml file.
Not sure if that is the issue since your windows is not showing the full file name.
From BrickStore did you just save the file or export it to Bricklink XML ?
On the windows machine, right click the file and choose properties, full file name should now be shown
That's your problem. Should be .bsx not .xml. Use "Save As" from within Brickstore rather than "Export".
I had an old version of BrickStock lurking somewhere hidden on the PC (I'm a Mac user, so not up on Wintel functionality). That was removed.
I also had to update BrickSync. Now everything is go!
Also shout out to the team that keep BrickSync available, I, and many of us, owe them much gratitude!

For info for everyone else who replied, the file format was fine (Graham sent it to over and it worked for me), as was the file name.
The last resort was to update to the latest BrickSync version, and this fixed it.
In the past using the mass upload to BL I would enter location for new lots later.
Does this mean I need to enter that data for all lots on BrickStore before using [merge] ?
Thanks G
And/or is this something that can be "switched off" so that remarks are not required?
This is what I do to prepare a merge file - it might help you when creating yours?
1 - Prepare your BrickStore file with the parts you want to add. Leave the Remarks blank, but make sure you've set the prices. Save the file.
2 - Import your current BL inventory into BrickStore. Select all and set the quantity field to 0.
3 - Go back to your file with the parts you want to add. Select all and copy.
4 - Go to your inventory file and paste. In the popup that appears, select the first option ("Use the same options to consolidate all lots"). In the next screen, set your options to those in the screenshot I've posted here. Click Finish.
What this does is:
Any parts that you are adding that currently exist in your store are added to the file, with the Remarks that are already in your store.
Any parts that you are adding that don't currently exist in your store are added to the file, and the Remarks are left blank. I suppose what you could do at this point is to set all of those items to a 'dummy' remark (e.g. XXXX) so you'll know which ones they are.
5 - Delete all of the parts in the inventory file with a 0 quantity. Save the file.
This will leave you with a file of the parts you are adding. Some will have a Remark that already exists, some will have a dummy remark.
Does that help at all?
At first I thought this process would be more cumbersome, however when executing I found it easier
From BrickSync's point of view the inventory on BL is the master (this is the one that gets tracked in the BrickStore directory), so whatever changes on there should be committed to BO too. If you do it through BrickStore it will happen automatically, but if you make a change on the BL website directly (e.g. adding a remark or changing a quantity) you will need to do a 'blmaster on' followed a 'blmaster off' on BrickSync. Don't make any manual changes on the BO website directly, as BrickSync won't pick those up.
Going back to the previous discussion, how are you going to update the Remarks for those items that didn't have them? Are you just updating them as you put the items away?
Once I had the items missing remarks, where I had a location, i entered that in brickstore remark.
Lots that had no location I simply added "1" to the remark.
After the merge the lots (without a location) show up at the top of parts (sorted by remarks) on BL.
In this case that was only 5 lots... find somewhere to put them enter location on BL (then master on/off) job done!!
Making life easier too, far less time consuming!
If you need to do a bulk update of lots of remarks (or prices) let me know, you can do that in BrickSync too
That is all
