Improved character vault usability.

The character vault is an amazing tool for sharing characters across games, but for GMs who manage a large variety of NPCs, characters and monsters across many games it can become very tedious. I would love to see some iteration on the character vault to make it more usable for large quantities of character movement between games, and perhaps introducing the ability for a single character to be accessible from multiple campaigns at once, where changes from any of those games are applied across all the games, rather than having to copy them to each game, and make sure that any changes are applied to all the games, and potentially forgetting to make a change here or there. Something like having a monster vault that you can always have access to in any of your games, and simply click and drag the monster from the journal into your game directly, rather than having to open up the character vault, import the monster from one of your previous games, then export the monster into your current game. Folders would also make sorting your character vault much easier too, currently it's just one big list. This turned into a bit of a rambling mess, as ideas kept coming to me as I was typing. I'd honestly trust the devs to come up with something awesome, and I know that something like this would be a big project, but for all the GMs out there who are managing their games, I'm sure this would be a greatly welcomed addition! The character vault is awesome, but it could definitely be more awesome :P
I would love for the Transmorgifier to be able to reach the character vault.
Adding onto this, some games like D&D 4th edition have very very heavy character sheets. So it would be nice also if a character sheet could be imported that maintained its original structure rather than defaulting to whateve rthe campaign is set to. That way monsters and NPCs could be made on a stripped down sheet and then imported to a campaign without slowing things down with a bunch of unnecessary and unused back ground math.
How about just the ability to import/export multiple characters to and from the Vault at once?

I want to give this my +1 and also add: Please grant the owner of a character sheet, that imports it from his character vault to a specific campaign, autimatically the control over this character sheet inside the campaign ("Can be controlled by ..."). I mean, it's his character. Why should I as a GM have to log into the campaign just to give him control over the character he has imported from his character vault anyway. I feel this would be a very minor issue for the devs to implement. Greetings.
