This is now old (Feb 2021), but a user tested the importation of a REFI-QDA project file generated by QualCoder and imported into MAXQDA, Quirkos, Atlas.ti. Only text and Images were tested.

This is useful for updating text files such as blog post extract that change over time. Update a text file while attempting to keep the existing coded text segments. Select the text file that needs to be replaced and select the replacement file. Click the cogs button to run the update. This function works by finding the identical matching text in the replacement file, as it parses through the file text. It may produce erroneous coded segments.
