I just exported a map in the new .mapx format, but when I try: A) File -> Import map or B) File -> Open map the new .mapx doesn't get shown. I have to set "Files of type:" from "Map (*.map)" to "All Files (*.*)" in order to be presented with the new .mapx file. Maybe extend the default to show .map and .mapx? |

Also, it doesn't look like layers information is properly transmitted in case A: A) File -> Import map Only the Default layer exists and everything is assigned to it. B) File -> Open map Working as intended: custom layers get created and assignments are correct. |

Yes, Import is not the same as Open. When importing maps or prefabs DR is not trying to preserve layer information, only grouping info. Same holds for importing prefabs. I'll definitely check out the extensions not being shown in the Open dialogs, it makes sense for them to show up there. |

The mapx extension is showing up in the selection dialog now |

Maybe it's because of the name - something made me think if a map file is "portable" because it carries its layers and groupings with it, then "importing" it would preserve that information. Having a way to transfer objects between maps while maintaining layer assignments would actually be quite useful - I often split up my WIPs into smaller .maps for faster load times, and since I sometimes have objects assigned to multiple layers it's sometimes not easy to merge the .maps together layer-by-layer. It's only a minor thing though, compared to preserving grouping information. |

I guess it's possible to add the option of keeping the Layer info when doing an import of another map or prefab. The code so far never even tried, it always settled for discarding the layer info. Such an algorithm could match the layers only by their name of course, so if you happen to import a map that only incidentally has layers with a matching name, it could mess up your target map. But feel free to open another request for this, analogous to the "preserve grouping info" issue. |
