FoundryVTT Version?

It would be great if we could use this inside FoundryVTT (as opposed to a separate tab!).

Developer

Thanks for the input! Initial thoughts: it's very much in the spirit of the thing - if Foundry is your table then a separate tab is exactly the kind of switching I'm trying to get rid of. I'm guessing there will be some browser storage issues running web apps within web apps - not sure, but will do some homework.

Out of curiosity, how would you use it? ...just you in a pop-out window, or would you want players to see anything?

I would say that having it run inside of foundry could allow me to link things to journal pages, turn pdf images into actor tokens quickly, yes, show things as hand outs or idk convert elemets into journal pages to be shared as handouts. finally, it鈥檚 one less tab XD

I can see how that would improve flow inside Foundry for sure. After a little dig into the possibilities, I'm thinking VTT integration is a whole world of its own and probably beyond scope... Foundry module developers could do a much better job anyway! Dungeon Reader is designed to be a 'reader' app first and foremost, with just enough tooling to enable the GM to stay in the book, and maintain immersion. I love the idea of it helping you in the VTT context, but all I can suggest (though it pains me to say it!) is to have it sitting happily in that other tab... 馃檹

EDIT: Not ruling out some kind of snipping tool though, to copy a map or image straight off the page to the clipboard. Fairly straightforward to build and useful with any VTT... might make some of those things you mentioned more streamlined?

Yeah, it鈥檚 a whole universe! But yeah extracting images would be AWESOME!

Snipping tool finally built! Added to the latest beta v0.5.18. Thanks for the request - couldn't live without it now myself!

YAAAAY!

Kanka foundry is similar, and they don't seem to have an issue with browser storage.

It might be a simpler process than I thought.. I'll take another look at it this week.
