Hey thanks for the info! I’ve got basically everything working, I just have one follow up question: how to find a given actor’s info in the Director from a Dialogue? In the export, the actor seems to just be the name supplied between the colons. However, it’s theoretically possible for there to be multiple actors with the same name, so just doing a naive name match on actors in the Director data seems wrong. How is this mapping meant to occur without the ID supplied to the Dialogue for the line’s corresponding actor?

Well the ::ActorName:: tag Is supposed to be unique, meaning, the app would autodetect and group the same string into the same actor. It is, in practice, an ID. I think the “real name” should be inside the properties, but again, is up to your implementation. Hope it makes sense!
