Research direction

Start by locating the existing command and kit entry points, then inspect how a held written book is represented. Define the file contents for title, author, page count, and page text, along with commands to save and restore it. Done means a book can be backed up, restored while held, and referenced when giving a written book in a kit.

Description

CMDBOOK-2107 - Reported by Fran55on

Could you add a command to copy/backup a book to a file (a text file with Information about: Title, Author, Number of pages and Text per page (Page1, Page2, Page3... and so on.))?

And could you add a command to restore a book from a file as well?

You would have to hold the desired book in your hand to do that. That means that you need to have a book to restore the text in it.

Once you have those two commands working, you have a working, yet simple, book file format.

Then you could make it so that you can reference that “book file” when you like to give a "Written Book" in a kit.

Best regards Magnus Fransson.
