Saving and Loading Spaces

Hello,

Just want to share some thoughts about saving and loading spaces functionality in the current SDK.

As the current *.c3d file implementation works around saving one active (user's avatar being in) island(world) per c3d file,
assuming, that it is needed to support and the possibility of saving all other current registered islands also (at the same time).
So, when somebody saves an active island(world) containing a portal to another already loaded island(world) from file,
then it is impossible to restore the working portals(between islands) just loading the saved one. It is required to load all participating islands(worlds) by hand.
So, if taking into consideration the concept of *.c3d as island/world's atomic file format, then may be to develop the support of an additional file format,
like archive solution, which could store all required islands (c3d files) in one definite file?
And after loading which, all islands will be restored automatically with working portals.

Regards,
Nikolay
