Frustrating lack of synchronization between QE and JE

[spetzel2020]

Currently, you can create a Journal Entry with embedded Actors - when you save the text, it will pop up the QE dialog showing the extracted number of Actors of each type.

However, from then on changing the Actors in the Journal Entry does not change the number in the QE - to add new Actors you must drag them to the Scene and then use the fist icon to add them to a QE. To increase/decrease the number of existing Actors you change the number in the QE, but that number is not reflected in the Journal Entry.

Two enhancements would be helpful:

1. If you change the Actors in the Journal Entry (add/delete, increase/decrease) and QE knows that no tokens have been saved - the QE is just being generated - then the QE should reflect those changes. This should be relatively straightforward
2. If the QE is just generated (no saved tokens), then changes made to the QE should reflect in the Journal Entry. This is more complicated (requires re-writing the Journal Entry).

A possible interim solution is to write the generated Actor links at the top or bottom of the JE for manual editing by the user.

The next version of QE (v12) will be the last, and unfortunately I will not be implementing this enhancement in it.
