Compendiums
Compendium configuration
Overview
DDB Importer imports most things into Compendium Packs.
Compendiums are useful because the content is only loaded when it's accessed. Things (Scenes, Actors, Items, Journals, etc) in the world are loaded when a user logs in, which can cause long load times.
DDB Importer will create some compendiums for you, but you can create your own. Click the Core setup button in the DDB Importer Module Settings and select the Compendiums tab to set which Compendiums you wish DDB Importer to use.
The Compendium Management buttons on the same tab can recreate any missing DDB compendiums, or delete and recreate all of them.
Shared Compendiums
Many users of Foundry use a "Shared Compendium". This is your own module that you can share between worlds so you don't have to import content each time.
It does come with a few maintenance overheads that you will be responsible for though.
Creating a shared compendium
Updating Foundry or Systems Versions
YOU are responsible for updating the content of your shared compendium to run on new Foundry or 5e system versions.
After an update you can run the following command to migrate any compendiums selected in the DDB Importer settings.
You only need to do this if your compendiums are "shared"/a custom module.
game.modules.get("ddb-importer").api.compendiums.migrateCompendiums();
