Transmogrifier

If I create a character sheet with lots of links to hand outs and an inventory sheet which links to items etc... If I transmogrify the Character sheet to a new campaign folder, do I need to also transmogrify all the other hand outs linked to the sheet? or will it pull the links from the other folder?

Pretty certain you'd need to transfer them, but it's easily checked.

My "guess", since I usually copy over all related handouts, is that the links to handouts not found within the same campaign will not work. I believe handout links are really more like anchor tags in html.

I believe handout links are really more like anchor tags in html. In fact, they are. They get translated into a particular url with the ID of the handout or character as an argument. That argument is passed to the client side Javascript which then spawns the UI of the handout. Since the Javascript operates in the context of the current campaign, it is unlikely it would look beyond the loaded resources it already has.

Yeah I was only asking because I had transferred over a sheet with a lot of links and they didn't work, I thought there might have been something I needed to check or what not, but that's not the case, just need to copy the folder I had the hand outs in.

Makes sense now that you say it that it would only look in the campaign folder and not try and drag assets from separate folders.

I like using URL's in my journals, handouts, and macros. Items remain more "portable" that way. Using google docs or another online repository could provide an external solution.
