Add View As menu options #133

Open SquidLord opened 6 years ago

SquidLord commented 6 years ago

There are occasions that I actually want to export a file and then immediately view it as that exported file, but not as part of the export process.

Under the File menu, perhaps it would be best to have the various formats listed, and then as a fly out have "export" and "view as" along with the current set of "all cards"/"this branch only"/etc. as a set of remembered options.

When View As gets selected, the system would proceed to export that file format and then load it in an appropriate application.

This neatly solves the "I really want to open this after I export" simultaneously with the "I just want to export" conflict.

(And also HTML needs to be added to the list of exportable formats.)
