Feature Request: Please allow mass importing of actors

[TheFabulousIronChef]

It would be great if I could click a few buttons and have all of my custom enemies, PCs, or NPCs all in one shot.

Hi @TheFabulousIronChef , thanks for the message. My current thinking:

1. Create a button on the Actor sidebar, like the same one which exists on Compendium sidebar. Something like this:

2. Select the folder. @mjeffw, currently I'm testing the webkitdirectory directory input element, but I'm not sure if this is the best approach (because it select all files in all subdirectories). Dialog is something like this:

3. After select the folder, a new dialog will show the eligible files in that folder:

Current options on import are:

• Create: create a new actor and import data
• Update: update existing actor
• Replace: remove current Actor, create a new one and import data

Please let me know if this helps.

I've got a solution I'll be implementing. It's the same one I use to import characters to create Doug's (Gaming Ballistic) modules for DFRPG, such as Saethor's Bane.
