The best way I figured out so far is to look at the sequence of messages before the first&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;Event: FIT_EVENT_TIMER; Type: FIT_EVENT_TYPE_START&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;message. If there was an activity message followed by a bunch of session messages before that event, then the file apparently is in summary first format, otherwise it is processed as it was before.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there a more reliable way to tell?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;- Configure existing Fit files from summary last to summary first?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- Configure some incoming fit file (before Dec 1st, 2023) to be summary first? (for some user)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My goal is to test if our new implementation can resolve the summary first well enough&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.garmin.com/aggbug?PostID=1850&amp;AppID=26&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: IMPORTANT!
