A fix for projects too big to upload.

I think that on your page, there should be an option to "Use project from another server". You click that button and are asked to input the project location, such as, www.mysite.net/scratch/pong.sb. The website would create a project page that embeds the project, calling all the data from it from www.mysite.net/scratch/pong.sb. This would fix the too large to upload problem.


Ask me what I'm doing, wait an hour than roll a die, if it's 4-6, I'm playing Skyrim, if it's 1, I'm eating, if it's 2-3 I'm programming.

Re: A fix for projects too big to upload.

It would be highly unprobable. What would be good is if the share button had a label like, "Share to Mod Share"

No, it might happen. And I thought it was mod share and that it was your site. Plus, then you would face the same problem as the scratch team.

Re: A fix for projects too big to upload.

This is unnecessary, the Scratch Team is moving everything to the cloud and projects will have no size limit. Look here for more details.

You have to save it somewhere and that is on the scratch website. Even with more than 10mb this could still be more. And FYI, the cloud is not just up in the sky, invisible, it's on other servers. To you, the projects on the scratch website are in the cloud.

@turkey3: Why not?

Because. Did you know that Scratch had an online uploader (which would have been useful when you don't want the fonts to change or something)? Anyways, people could just zip up some files (most likely illegal or inappropriate), rename it .sb and then upload it because Scratch doesn't have to be able to open it. Right now, only projects that are openable by Scratch are uploadable. And so if you uploaded it to elsewhere and linked it here, the Scratch website might be linking to illegal files...

Unnecessary and potentially dangerous if implemented.

Re: A fix for projects too big to upload.

Though then you couldn't view it or it wouldn't make a page for it because it would be 'corrupted'. The ST would get a message saying that, and they would send a message saying your project is corrupt, we're gonna take it down.

Same with normal projects.
