"import only changed" would be really nice, but for now let's assume that's handled in the preparation of the csv file..

if "Titles must be unique for this node type" is checked, can i then (please) choose whether to "import new revision" or "replace with import"..?

thank u for ur time and consideration,
ur efforts on this module are greatly (under) appreciated..

hear hear - would love this. If you could tick whether to update existing node or you could choose to bulk import and update without needing permission. So if node title exists then update with asking.

And it would be super cool in an update to select which field should be unique. So instead of just 'if TITLE exists update' if your file had a unique key in it like a product number you could say 'on import if $field->product_key exists update based on file to db match'

I am also looking for this option. It will be great to have this feature which will ask whether one want to replace the data or load the new data. I believe as of now there is no explicit recognition of primary key. Let the title be the primary key and the node if exist with the primary key data can be updated.
I got some idea expecting people to respond.

http://drupal.org/node/150397 seems to be a better thread for this conversation, although the replacement of the entire node type with imported data isn't addressed exactly. I'm maintaining a database in another external system and export a reference file frequently -- I simply want to import the entire file, replacing the node type in its entirety.
