Foundry loose integration

Sword_of_Spirit said:
A possible feature request has been rolling around in my mind for a while now, although I'm uncertain if it would work right or have issues.

Basically, I'm not aware of any components of Foundry's journal documents that aren't functional from within a compendium. While Foundry's scenes/maps are absolutely crippled in a compendium (all you get is the image), and actors and items are fully viewable but non-functional in a compendium, journals seem to work just fine from within a compendium.

My first concern is that I may be wrong, and there may actually be some journal functionality that isn't present in compendiums. If that is the case, the feature I'm thinking about may not be a good idea. (And in general, if anyone knows of elements of journals that don't work in compendiums, I'd appreciate hearing about it anyway.)

But, if journals *are* fully functional from within compendiums, I think it would be great if we could have an option to import journals directly into compendiums (including a shared compendium), rather than into the world. This would free up memory usage for those of us with enormous worlds we want to transfer to Foundry. And if we create new Foundry journals directly in the compendium, this would allow us to keep everything together.

Again, I don't know whether there are any problems with this proposed idea, but I wanted to suggest it, because it could be a good optional way to free up memory and consolidate organization.

Unfortunately, Sword_of_Spirit has just come across an issue with Foundry in that Notes on scenes can't link to journals stored in compendiums, so links in Smart Images won't create openable links in Foundry (although the label on the note will contain the correct name of the journal).
 
I just discovered something else. I'm not sure if it's a new problem, but I didn't notice on previous import experiments. Some of the snippets that have a blank value, but notes after (the dates at the top), aren't getting imported at all. I'm including screenshots of the RW and Foundry versions so you can see what I mean.

I'm getting a lot of the following error messages during the import in Foundry:

"Unauthorized: API Key does not have the proper permissions to use this API. Missing capabilities: Write Assets."

Is this due to integrated purchased content or is there some other issue? Apologies if this was discussed above, but I searched for this in the Forum and didn't find anything.

Also, just an FYI, the import crashes every time I try to use it in an instance hosted by The Forge. I can only get it to work on an instance of Foundry running locally on my PC. Is that expected?

I note that all of my scenes have no images associated with them. The images are in the associated article. When I add the image to the scene by pointing it to the image in the imported images folder for the world, I get the same error message. The image does display in the scene after this though. Anyway, it doesn't look like I'm missing getting content imported, but scenes are not properly created.
 
I've seen the issues reported on github (thanks for them).

The Home Page is not included in the export file that Realm Works produces - so there's no way to import it.

The warning about "API key" might be due to the default upload location for the importer being blocked by the Forge hosting. The module setting "Location of Extracted Assets" might need to be changed to designate a location into which Forge will allow files to be uploaded.

If the import appears to crash Foundry, then opening your browser's console (F12 on Windows, something similar on MacOS) might show an error occurring during import which is causing the problem. If I know the error then I might be able to prevent a fatal crash of Foundry on Forge.

I will check to see if the dates that contain only an annotation can be imported properly.

I see they are tag fields. Version 2.12.4 will contain fixes so that fields with annotations but no data will still get imported.
