Import a scene as a MeshLibrary

[rcorre]

Godot version:

3.0.6

OS/device including version:

Linux 4.20.6-arch1-1-ARCH

Issue description:

My current meshlib/gridmap workflow looks like:

1. Edit meshlibrary in blender
2. Export using godot-blender-exporter
3. Open the .escn in godot
4. Click through the "Changes to this scene will not be saved" popup
5. Convert > MeshLibrary
6. Click OK in the dialog
7. Close the scene, as future imports seem to get messed up if it is still open

Suggestion:

Could we have an Import As: MeshLibrary option that would perform steps 3-7 automagically whenever the .escn is updated?

Totally confirm this but I think API for importer script would be better idea (but fancy importer GUI option would be nice too).
Your workflow prevents editing materials which might not be nice.

Perhaps you should be able to link an output .meshlib to the scene that it was exported from. Then on that scene there'll be something like a "re-export to meshlib" button

Or more drastically a meshlib could be a root node and everything under it gets converted into it. You then use that scene as the resource for the gridmap
