Import & Export paths/settings?

[anthonydugois]

I'm working on a function to edit the path code manually, but I'm not sure this is what you mean by "import and export the paths". Could you be more specific? :)

[davidhund]

Editing the path code manually (and thus being able to copy-paste) is partially what I meant.

Manual editing would allow us to 'load' and 'save' path data (by copy-pasting). This, however, does not handle the SVG 'canvas' dimensions, etc. Pasting path data based on different dimensions would result in in—or partially—visible path's.

It would be better to be able to save all settings: path-data and app-settings (canvas dimensions, etc).
Off the top of my head a simple svg-path-builder.json object would be great, but even better would be to (also) have the option to save only the image (your-paths.svg).

Absolutely brilliant would be to be able to import an SVG containing path's and make that editable :-)

Oh ok, I get it. Well this is an excellent idea. I think the JSON file would be redundant, because you already have all the data in the SVG file.

Export is easy, and I can load paths from an SVG image by parsing the file. I'll add these functions for sure. :)
