Subject: kgoldrunner: Should support sharing games

Package: kgoldrunner
Version: 4:3.5.10-1
Severity: normal

Kgoldrunner stores it's levels under ~/.kde/share/apps/kgoldrunner.  The
process of copying files from there to export is not obvious to
non-technical users (the vast majority of people who want to play the
game).

It should be possible to export a campaign in a single file for easy
transfer via email or other method so that people can share games with
their friends.

It would be ideal if there was some integration with kmail.  Konqueror
supports instructing kmail to send an email with a link address, it
would be good if kgoldrunner could instruct kmail to send a message with
a campaign file attached.

Bug reports and wishes in KDE applications should be sent in via the menu item Help->Report Bug... which gets them to the bugs.kde.org database and direct to the author/maintainer (me, in this case).  I do not know how to stop my replies going to Debian ...

Re your wish, Russell, it is a good idea, but I have no idea what the demand for it would be.  I have heard from only four or five other players in as many years. Present KGoldrunner file formats were not designed with anything like this in mind, so I will have to put it on the backburner for now (my TODO file).
