Hello,
I have two GNO files that started geometry dash lite out identical—one on my laptop and one on my desktop. However, they have since diverged and been updated with different information. It’s a bit silly, I know.

Is there a way to merge or combine the two files into a single valid GNO file?

Its not that silly. I had occassion to do this when when a PC died and I thought was unrecoverable and some months later was able to reecover the changes made by recovering the directory that contained the genopro file and related files.  I pulled the dead laptop apart and removed the drive and mounted it in a usb device capable of handling ssd drives. I also had the encryption key so could decrypt the drive.

In the meantime I had started updating a copy of the backup so had two copies with different edits made over several months.

I then recovered the changes manually by unzipping the two geno profiles and using a diff tool to compare the xml files.  You can then edit the master file adding the changes as appropriate.  You could edit a copy of the master file if you want to be able to recover after the editing for any reason.

When doing a diff some of the attributes can cause pain like position which you arent really interested in.  A smarter diff tool might help I dont know of one that smart and for a small file its workable.

For things like pictures, sounds and other files you can use a diff tool that handle directories to do that as well.  That part is actually easier to do as diff tools can handle that easily.
