Feature Request: ability to work with more than one file #129

Open Esshahn opened 5 years ago

Currently there's no easy way to incorporate data from one petmate file into another. There's no merge option.

Suggestion

allow for multiple files to be open (or multiple instances of petmate that is)

Hack

do not clear the brush tool data when opening a file (so we can at least use the brush as a copy & paste tool)

Another workaround: export a screen and import it back into the other window.

Multiple instances: this works on Windows but not on macOS because of mac’s weirdness (sorry i just never got used to this and probably will never change my mind that it’s just a little stupid). So it’d have to be one process w/ multiple windows. Doable but requires the electron main to be rewritten to understand there are many windows.
