Export Facets (or even persist them) #560

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Is there any way to export facets?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Produce a project in Google Refine
2.Extract your Undo/Redo
3.Export your project to .tar.gz

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect that some remnant of my data facets and their state are exported, so 
that when I "Apply" or "Import", I have the same facets and selections as when 
I did Extract or Export.

What version of Google Refine are you using?
r2491 (20120420 checkout from SVN trunk)

What operating system and browser are you using?
Any

Is this problem specific to the type of browser you're using or it happens in 
all the browsers you tried?
Any

Please provide any additional information below.

I am able to save my actions as a selenium Test Case, and with that I am able 
to bring back my facets, but this seems unnecessary.  I thought that the facets 
would persist a little bit longer.

Facets don't even persist across project editing sessions, let alone 
export/import cycles, so that would be the first thing to do before being able 
to export them.

One possible workaround, depending on what you're trying to do is, if you've 
got a set of rows selected with facets, you can flag or star the rows so that 
you have a permanent record of which rows were selected.
