Import and Export
You can import a complete level file into the OwnLevels folder. XML files can be imported and there is also support for import of text files. When importing a text file, only lines of text with the valid level characters (#$@+.*) are considered, all other lines are ignored. This means that meta information, such as level identities, are ignored. Use the Import menu item under Files. Select a file to import from. If the import succeeds, you will be prompted for a file name.

You can import a level into the editor with the Windows clipboard. Select and copy from any document or your internet browser and then paste it into the level editor. The format of the text can be just plain "#@$+. " or a complete level in xml (.slc) format.

You can also export a level by copying and pasting into any document or program, use Copy Level.
