Editing / managing export templates in Tome #67

Open pgrimsehl opened 8 years ago

pgrimsehl commented 8 years ago

Current state:

For each new export template a new set of the required files must be manually created, opened, edited and changed
The project file must be changed manually to add an export template to the project

It would be nice to manage / create export templates within Tome.

Create / Edit Export Template window, featuring

Creating / updating all necessary files of the export template file set
Presenting each file content in a separate edit box, grouped by type ( e.g. Records, Fields, Lists, Maps having their data and delimiter strings grouped, maybe a tab for each group)
A live preview window showing the resulting export using sample data

Manage Project Export Template window, featuring

Adding / removing export templates to / from the project
Changing the export flags for a template

I totally agree, and I love the idea of the live preview. I already have something in mind, similar to live previews for code cleanup in Eclipse. This will be added as soon as the "basic" project settings window #16 has been implemented.
