[Bug] Can't edit imported badges

[ctrlVnt]

I can't edit a imported badge. I think because I don't have this symbol. Can be interesting change json file, we can transfer real data and not mipmap for letters numbers and default symbols, and when I import if I don't find the symbol in my personalized symbol the app create the new symbol

Thanks @ctrlVnt for reporting this issue.

I started investigating the import and edit flows to understand why imported badges cannot be edited after being successfully imported.

From my initial code review, I noticed that the import flow and the local save/edit flow do not appear to follow exactly the same path.

Currently, when a badge is imported, the JSON is deserialized into a Data object and then written back to local storage. However, while tracing the edit workflow, I found that reopening a badge for editing may depend on additional information that is stored and restored separately from the badge JSON itself.

I am now comparing:

• The structure of exported/imported badge JSON files.
• The data generated when a badge is saved locally.
• The information required by the editor when reconstructing a badge for editing.
• Any additional metadata/state that may be maintained outside the serialized badge data.

My current hypothesis is that imported badges are successfully persisted and displayed, but some information required by the editor is not being reconstructed or restored during the import process. This would explain why a badge can be imported and viewed correctly but cannot be edited afterwards.

I am continuing to trace the complete pipeline to identify the exact mismatch between imported badges and locally saved badges. Once I confirm the root cause, I will propose a fix and submit a PR.

Demo video attached.

I have already included a detailed explanation of the implementation in the PR description, but I am also attaching this video here for easier review.

The video demonstrates:

• Exporting and importing badges
• Preservation of the original editable text
• Automatic restoration of custom cliparts
• Cross-device portability of personalized cliparts
• Legacy badge compatibility and import behavior

Please let me know if any additional testing or changes are required

@xar43 it's better to discuss directly on the PR, avoid confusion
