Feedback [suggestion] Import/export scripts

[GMWolf]

GMS1.x had the ability to export and import a group of scripts.
But it seems GMS2 does not support multiple scripts in a single .gml file.

It would be nice to have a new format, either based on XML or JSON to store a group of scripts, preserving all group structure.

perhaps the format could look something like this:

{
 'group1' : [
    {
    "id": "b8e0818f-d7d9-4ff8-855a-640ed1d9bd01",
    "modelName": "GMScript",
    "mvc": "1.0",
    "name": "r3",
    "IsCompatibility": false,
    "IsDnD": false
    "content": <<CODE WOULD GO HERE>>
   },
   {
    "id": "b8e0818f-d7d9-4ff8-855a-640ed1d9bd01",
    "modelName": "GMScript",
    "mvc": "1.0",
    "name": "r2",
    "IsCompatibility": false,
    "IsDnD": false
    "content": <<SOME MORE CODE GOES HERE>>
}
  ]
}

This would help people easily share scripts, when the marketplace not ideal.

I don't think this is needed.

You can either just import a folder of files, or - what I think it better - you can make a marketplace asset (private if you like) and then you can import from "your library" making it not only easy to find, but giving you a nice tree view with files+folders for you to import what you like.
