Capability to download sheets uploaded to gCalc

Issue #45 resolved
Travis Ellis created an issue

On my work PC, working on a new sheet. Would be cool if I could get home, access the sheet on gCalc and then be able to open it on my home computer using GCS.

Has applications as a GM for helping new players fix issues with sheets without having to share an email address or otherwise exchange sheets.

    Technical: The way we would accomplish this is to export the full GCS save file along with the stripped down refried version to gCalc. We would save it separately and just not touch it unless another export happens. We would then supply a "Download" button that would allow you to save the characters with a .gcs extension.

    The back end work is done for this, I just need to build out the ui. This is for a later release at this time.

    Additional backend work done: replacing a character on import does not overwrite the previous gcs save. Instead, each replace of the character will store a separate instance of that character, along with the date it was imported. This way users can download "CharacterX" from "5/18/2016" as well as "CharacterX" from "3/25/15". It'll be a full cloud save with history so people will always have old versions to go back to.

    Possible future feature: Allow users to "revert" to older saves in gCalc in this same screen. If they uploaded a version from gcs that wasn't correct, they could go to this screen and click "revert" on any of the previous uploads.

    Done, save one thing: exported character files should have the name of the character as the file name.
