Improve “Refresh from server” behavior. #11

With v1.2.0 of the extension the file fetched from the server is in IDML format, and only that. However, consider the panel once that IDML file is opened:

Clicking “Refresh from server” downloads the adjusted IDML and opens a new document in InDesign. That’s inconvenient, as all stylistic changes made to the first document won’t transfer.

Instead, it would make more sense to place a new Story (ICML) containing the server-side structural adjustments in the original document and remove the initial Story that’s part of the downloaded IDML file.

Thank you @CircularKen for that very sensible suggestion 🤓
