Export/Import from JSON

Hi An,

As well as Alex's excellent advice, I'd just like to add a point 
concerning the deleted library.  If you need to get you're original 
back, Omnis should have archived it in the Application Support folder 
when you executed "Rebuild from JSON". Take a look in 
"~/Library/Application Support/Omnis/OmnisAppName/archives/"

And you may want to take a look at the exports.json file in 
"~/Library/Application Support/Omnis/OmnisAppName/studio/".  This is 
where Omnis records the paths to your previously exported libraries 
along with the paths to their export directories.  I have experienced 
occasional problems with Omnis writing invalid JSON out to this file 
which means the next time you start Omnis, it will not know where you 
exported your libraries for the "Update JSON tree" and "Rebuild from 
JSON" commands.  I have registered a support case on this and am hoping 
it will be fixed in 8.1.4

Good luck.
Rgds,
Graham
