Add support to Import and Export GM Screens between worlds

Open igorteuri opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hi there! I love this module, it is amazing. I've set up a GM Screen in a world, and I'd like to export it to another one.

I don't know if it's possible, butI'd like to suggest adding a importing/exporting feature. It could duplicate the notes in the GM Screen to the new world.

Thanks again.

Oooh. This is a very good idea... which I have no idea how to pull off.

At the moment the data structure is such that it relies on the IDs for the things (journal entries, items, tables, etc) populating the screen. Those Ids are going to be different between worlds even if the exact same notes exist in both worlds.

This would be more possible with a compendium, but I still haven't gotten display from compendium working...

Thanks for the feedback! Definitely a good idea, gonna mark this as help wanted.

Well couldn't you store the data of journals as json and create new journals when importing and do the linking?

Journal notes with links will probably break but a basic export is better than none.

Love the module but running multiple worlds where the notes are basically the same is a big hassle to keep in sync
