Description

Hi,
Couple questions/enhancement requests.

I have been exporting to backup. When I import from an earlier file,
I get the following message:

1 of your creations already exist. Do you want to overwrite them?

I can Cancel or Select Open.

1) Import does NOT seem to replace the current cache of Web Maker projects but just include any other from the workspace json file?

2) Request: There is no way to clear the workspace cache. Attempting to import an empty json file does not work. Creating a json file with one project taken from a previous export. Generates the message above. It would be nice to clear the cache of projects in Web Maker and start new clean export files.

3) Request: When importing a json file of projects a dialog was shown to either overwrite or merge a collection projects. Overwrite you essentially clear the project cache and load the import file projects.

This would allow users to use Web Maker for various projects and export them to files and then load them as needed.

So I could have files for all of lessons from a Javascript course in one file. Or a file with a specific area of research.

I can organize these files into folders and manage all my Web Maker projects.

Regards,
Jim
