No, you have to work at it explicitly. I'm sorry to say that I pushed
for this some years ago in a misguided assumption that this would help
advance the cause of version control. That allowed me to reconstruct
objects from script, then Monte came up with a different and better
solution, and then they both got rejected. So now you can assign and
change object ids and it still won't do you any good.
There have been multiple export/import functions written (I wrote one of
the first, about 15(?) years ago). Granted that it's not the integrated
solution you would hope for, how does it fall short of allowing version
control of project configuration?
Well, git integration is a big part of what I want. That allows for true
group collaboration: checkouts, pull requests, merges, etc. Script-only
stacks is a step in that direction, missing I think only the use of
metadata for custom properties and the ability to use SSO stacks as
substacks. If it weren't for the stupid requirement for trailing
whitespace at the end of every line I'd actually go back to submitting
pull requests on SSO stacks.
If this were an actual project, I'd expect maybe a project config file
showing the stack(s), stack files, and other assets: font files, image
files, audio files, etc.
