Effeciently set the same route style when adding bulk routes #1426

Open scd opened 10 years ago

scd commented 10 years ago

From user:

Also when adding bulk routes is it possible to have a all routes selection for sport, trad, etc. Like when you are putting multiple ticks for one date

What about a file import function? I just strained my fingers from excessive copypasting. I guess you could do this on request, but in my case it was still too few routes to bother you directly.

scd commented 10 years ago

It is a good idea. Whenever I get a file i end up doing a lot of manual checks and often make corrections. I could automate all the checks I do manually.

The only problem is it's a lot of work. There is nothing wrong with putting it on the todo list.

I am wondering if there is an even easier way - maybe a text box entry, one route per line with just the route name, height and grade. As long as we have a standard format it will be fine for most routes.

eg Route name A 10m 5.12a Route name B 30ft 6a Route name C 12 Route name D 12m 'Route name ending with the number 10' 10m

Parsing this would be fairly simple. The system checks very limited.

I recon this would cover the use case you are after. What do you think?

brendanheywood commented 10 years ago

I would be trivial to have a special case just for style, a drop box at the top which sets a default, in the same way as on the ascent form we have a default date. I want this all the time when entering data too.

We should also do a file import, we have one but it just needs some UI love. Another card...

MelwinQ commented 10 years ago

Simon's solution would pretty much do the job. the fine tunning can be done via the ususal dialogues, if required.

lordyavin commented 10 years ago

I would like to have both options. Default fields for the new routes like ticking multiple routes and a file import.

lordyavin commented 6 years ago

Just want to bring this up again. I missed defaults for adding bulk routes a lot. E.g. gear type, FFA. Additonally it would be great to apply this to bulk edit too.

brendanheywood commented 6 years ago

An undocumented trick: add one route first, the subsequent batch of routes will default to the type of the first one

lordyavin commented 6 years ago

Yes know the trick, but using this workaround is annoying too.
