book-keeping

[tschaume]

Upon submission of a MPFile, its contents are linked to a unique contribution ID (cid). Updates/Overwrites/Deletions of contributions subsequently require the knowledge of affected cids with respect to the MPFile being submitted. To facilitate the book-keeping, there has to be a mechanism in place that allows users to keep track of the respective cid.

ToDos to support this feature:

• implement mode for MPFile.from_file() which keeps comments (02f1588)
• include comments in output of MPFile.get_string() (6a2db77, 17d9e9c)
• re-generate global general section from single contributions (make_general_section 5108c63)
• prepend not append general section in make_general_section (349dbbb)
• insert contribution id into MPFile and test w/ viewer (e7fb477)
• mgc submit: implement dry run mode to test submission vs scratch-type collections (0519db7)
• implement test mode for submissions to reuse IDs and reduce Plotly spam (143bb82)
• make sure all strings are processed and submitted in utf-8 encoding (6d96d77)
• mgc submit: overwrite/update local MPFile by embedding cid
• mgc submit: check for embedded cid and trigger correct action (add/update)
