Direct from thingverse upload to Manyfold

[marl-scot]

Has anyone looked at adding a feature that allows pasting of a model ID from thingiverse (or any of the other model libraries) for downloading directly to Manyfold?

Thinking of either a set of inputs on the upload page, or its own dedicated upload page, that shows something like :

Upload from Thingiverse : xxxxxx
Upload from Printables : xxxxxx

When you find a model on thingiverse, you note the ID, goto Manyfold, enter the ID number in the upload page, and Manyfold will grab the model files, author/license/tags etc. without having to download zip files, upload, then copy/paste tags/author/license info between 2 pages.

There is an open issue for collection syncing to other sites (#487), but I love the approach of just pasting a URL from a compatible site (no need for finding IDs etc, we can work those out) and having Manyfold slurp it in. This would be a great addition!

Duplicate? #1990

I think I was thinking of this more as "import by pasting a compatible URL"; I'll rename it to reflect that.

#1990 is probably the underlying thing that would do the import, and this reflects more of the UI process of how it might work.
