Frame import - variables

[pdxwordsmith]

Importing from Frame.
I have a bunch of variables with a hyphen (our product name includes a hyphen and italics, so I use a Frame variable). When I import to Flare, the hyphens disappear (not to mention the formatting of the variables). Is this a known issue? Is there any way to prevent it?

I've fixed my variables in Flare (not the formatting, sadly), but each import seems to recreate the variables, wiping out my changes. I saved a copy of my fixed variables, but the build still seems to be taking the variables from the munged set.

How do I tell Flare which variable set to use?

Thanks.

I figured out a hack (er, workaround):

• Remove the auto-generated variable set.
  Project > Add Variable Set
  Select the set with correct variables and give it the name of the removed auto-generated set.

There's probably a better way, but this seems to work for me. I guess I'll see if it "sticks" on next import.
