Import/Export available
In the setting from the main menu (gear icon in the top right) you can now export/import your maps.
This will be useful if you prepare maps on one computer and then transfer them to another to run the session.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT ALL SCREENS ARE CALIBRATED TO 1 GRID = 1 INCH ON STARTUP
All caps to stress how important that is. If you don't do that, they won't be scaled properly and you'll need to go in and manually re-scale them by editing them within the VTT.
Exports include all tokens that were manually imported (so not the ones it comes with) as well as all your FAVORITE maps.
As a reminder, favorite maps are the ones shown when you first start the VTT and are available when running a session. So if you imported a map and later sent it to the "Map Library" (by clicking "Archive") it will not be exported. You'll need to "Restore" it from the library into the favorites first.
Good news is any maps that are imported will automatically be favorites, so should be easy to find.
After importing, the program will restart automatically. This is so the library can be rescanned with the newly imported maps. Should happen very quickly though.
Eventually the way maps and tokens are handled will be completely rewritten to make things even easier. We are a few months away from that probably.
Thanks for all the reviews, they've been very nice lately and keep me motivated!
