Match views based on content url rather than just LUID #13

Closed mcoles closed 3 years ago

mcoles commented 3 years ago

Currently TabCompare matches vizzes to compare based on LUID, and structures the output folder to match. This creates problems if for some reason, a new viz is published to a cloned server instance, as it results in a new and unique LUID that will not match the same workbook published to the other server. Furthermore, the directory structure is not human-readable when it utilizes LUIDs.

Add a feature to allow user to optionally compare based on content url, and if selected, structure the directory structure to match.

As a follow-up, it'd be nice to have the ability to match on Site Name - Project Name - Item Name - Item Type as well, as an even more generic option, but that's not as important at the moment, I don't think.

Edit: I guess I already covered the directory structure thing in #5
