Import/Export of maps

[exodus4d]

With the growing number of external installations of Pathfinder, i would like to add an Import/Export feature for maps.

Features:

• Maps can be exported and downloaded.
  • Map data is downloaded as a *.json file (map, system, connection data)
  • Signatue data will not be exported
  • The user can set the name for the JSON file
• Maps can be imported
  • The user can select a JSON file for map import
  • The user can choose a map name and a map scope (private, corporation, ally) for the new map

With this feature, we can build up a "map library" like "Dotlan" with pre-saved k-space maps that can be imported

for PvP-roams or PvE-Ops.

Great! Eve w-space added it not that long ago and I find it very useful.

Feature done :)

Map export

• Any map can be exported/downloaded as a *.json file
• The default filename for this file [mapName][data].json
• The name can be changed before exporting
• An example file (3 systems, 1 connection) looks like this: https://gist.github.com/exodus4d/744ebde5ce3c5004b82c

Map import

• The mapType can be set before import (a "private" map export can imported as "corporation" or "alliancy" maps as well, ...)
• Map files can be choosen for upload
• Alternatively the user can drag&drop valid files right into the "dropZone" area

Hint

• Feature just workes in out of game browser of course :) (dialog tab is "gray" in IGB)
• Feature requires some HTML5 APIs ( FileReader, Drag&Drop)
• No "save" button on this tab, dialog stays open after in/export action is finished. So you can drag&drop multiple files after each other...

Future plans

• Add some k-Space region maps to this project
• Add a "Select" with this maps to the "import" section. So users dont have to create this "fix" maps.
