Token generation #1

Closed EthanOKung closed 1 year ago

EthanOKung commented 1 year ago

Awesome program. I'm posting a feature request - may be cool to allow the user to generate their own token for each entry since people may already have a naming system in place for their cultures, or perhaps a way to search the notes field when entering "parents" information. Not neccessary but might just be useful for some.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad to hear someone besides me is using mycolog.

As you have guessed already, this is not a feature I'm too keen on adding. I could think about making the tokens editable, but this would come with the risk, that people would misunderstand this field and misuse it. For now, I'd prefer to keep things simple.

Yep certainly makes sense. Auto-generation token is nice and should not be removed, but making it editable would provide flexibility, though I can see you would need to put in a lot of checks for invalid/duplicate tokens. I'm just thinking that some people may want to label things their own way, or want to switch to your system from another existing system, so the option to not have to add another label could be nice, but not a big deal.
