Include Card shortLink (unique ID) in the export. Bump to 1.6.1 #12

The shortLink is provides a unique identifier for the card, which can be useful if the card moves between boards, interacting with the API, or simply trying to find that specific card in Trello.

I added the ShortURL to the export. I think this will have broader appeal and you can easily extract the shortLink ID from it.

For your other ideas, created date and created by is in the JSON export in the Actions section. Just look for data.actions where ID is equal to the ID of the card and type is equal to createCard. The date and Member creator ID are in there.

I imagine it is valuable for some users, but not sure of its general appeal. Some people will care more about when a card moved lists. From feedback it seems like many people are looking for something the export doesn't have but seldom are multiple people looking for the same thing.

We've been using Salesforce.com Cases to track most of our projects lately but are coming back to Trello for certain tracking.
