A command to convert a scene tree node to a PROTO

[amrytov]

Hi,

Just an idea for a new convenience feature. That is PROTOs that make those horribly nested scene trees manageable. When one need to make a PROTO from a node on a scene, the current workflow looks like this:

• Create a new empty PROTO
• Open the saved world in a text editor, find and select the text of the sub-tree to be converted
• Copy this text to the new PROTO, managing not to mess up 'IS' fields vs literal fields,
• Figure our parameter fields, JS scripts and such
• Replace the original subtree with the new PROTO

Suppose you have a context menu command on a tree node, which takes this node and all its subtree, converts it into a new PROTO (with a wizard dialog similar to the existing one), then cleanly replaces the subtree with the new PROTO. You'd still have to figure out what goes into the parameter fields, write scripts and such, but the conversion itself would be so much easier!
