[Dxbase] Importing ADIF from LOTW

LA9RY has two logs, one for the home QTH on the mainland and one for the summer QTH on an island.
After uploading to LOTW I can download a report, containing QSOs from both logs.
Importing LOTW data using the Non DXBASE import is not easy to get correct:
Using “load all records” imports everything from the report file. The log grows and adds untrue records.
Using “load if not confirmed” ignores confirmed QSOs, but still adds untrue records.
Using “do not load any records” does not add any untrue records, but does not add any LOTW confirmations either. 

The documentation (pdf-file for W10) says: 
If a QSO record cannot be found in your DXbase database, the record will be treated as a new QSO record and will  be added to your DXbase database
And that is not exactly what I want.

I know that Joe has made an automatic routine for adding LOTW info, but I am not there yet. I would like to take it step by step, and I am a newcomer to LOTW.

Guess someone out there has had the challenge.
