Realmworks and VTTs

On the topic at hand: Farling wrote an amazing importer for FoundryVTT that works like a charm!

My workflow currently consists of putting my stuff in Realm Works and once I added or changed things I need for the upcoming session, I export my realm in RW and import it into Foundry. For my realm with 1600+ topics and an export file size of over 1.3GB that takes roughly 15min.

I must say that my largest import file was only 800 MB, so well done on 1.3 GB actually working

(Large file handling was a pain to write to support the massive files that RW generates.)

Did you know that you can do partial exports (and imports) - rather than exporting the entire realm each time?

Yes, I know, but the workflow in realm works is what keeps me from doing that. Because that would mean to add a tag to all changed topics in realm works, do a partial export based on this, then remove the tag from all topics again. It's usually easier to just do everthing.

But you're right, I should probably switch to doing it this way, then I could put more things into compendia.
