Move card between databases #246

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What is the feature you want?

I created my own database for my personal English language training.
In this database I add single card or I insert cards resulting from a selection 
by scanning other existing public databases.

As I scan an existing database if I decide a certain card is useful for me, I 
add it in my own database (Share -> Anymemo -> Save) then I delete the card 
from the source database. Conversely if I decide the card is not useful I 
delete it directly from the source database.

The process requires many sessions until I exhaust all cards from source 
database.

I would like an new button (e.g. Save&Del) to let me save and delete the card 
in a single step.

How important is it to you?

Very important because it would speed up significantly the scanning process.

Do you think other people also want this feature and why?

I think this need is very common.

That's an interesting feature request. 

To me "Save & del" doesn't make sense, but what you really want is a way to 
transfer cards from one db to another. I don't have anything good way in mind 
to deal with this use case, maybe cross-db copy/cut paste would help.

Maybe you could name the button "Cat&Paste" instead of "Save&Del"

Or even more simply "Move"

More precisely you could add "Copy/Move" option directly in the main menu to be 
used instead of "Share". This option should implicitly select Anymemo as the 
target. Then if you provide the options "Save", "Save & Del", "Cancel" the 
meaning would be clear and we could save another key press to accomplish the 
operation.

You are right. The "Share" is inappropriate for the task. It needs a individual 
"Move" somewhere to move between dbs.

Any chance to have this feature included in the next release ?

The feature was not accepted for the next release (AnyMemo 10.3). I will accept 
it for the version after 10.3.
Change the name to the real implementation I am going to do.
