Convert a full gateway backup into zip files you can import in the designer

I have created a solution to an annoying problem that others might find useful too:

The problem:
You are working in the designer, and need to import a specific view you made earlier. But it only exists in a full gateway backup from a different project. So you have to restore that project in order to extract that resource. That is too much work.

The solution:
I made a little webpage that lets you load the gateway backup, and download only the parts you need. Then you import it directly in the designer. Test it here: GWBK Extract · BV Lab. It works for many types of resources.

And of course this does not leak your data to a server. Everything happens locally in the browser, so the data never leaves the computer.
