import ink JSON to inky / .ink format? #160

Open jeremydouglass opened 6 years ago

Is it possible to convert an existing ink JSON file into .ink format? (with inky, inklecate, or an external tool etc.)

For example, I see that there is a recent online converter for inklewriter JSON to ink, discussed in https://github.com/inkle/inky/issues/39 -- but that is for inklewriter JSON only, and I'm not sure if there is any path from ink JSON back into ink?

There isn’t. It’s quite heavily compressed. (Inklewriter json is totally different). It’s not unfeasible one could be made, but we’ve never had a use for it! On Fri, 24 Aug 2018 at 11:16 pm, Jeremy Douglass notifications@github.com wrote:

I'd be interested in this as well, as I thought "save as JSON" was simply "save as" and imagine I'm not the only one.... I tried popping the output into a JSON > JS converter to see if I could work backwards to restore the ink manually, but get a message saying the JSON is invalid 😢
