Putting several notes in an envelope simultaniously.

Postby The Hunter » Tue Jan 20, 2004 7:12 pm

That'd save a lot of time organizing notes. One of my char's has a lot of notes and tries to keep them oranized in a number of catagorized envelopes but that takes too much time sometimes due to lag.
So I think it would be nice to have checkboxes next to envelopes and notes to select what notes need to be put in the envelope, just like the system for taking notes out of an envelope. This is a small step towards having more notes in envelopes which reduces lag (a bit).

This must have been suggested so many times already, and yet it still isn't possible. It's mad. I agree totally, there are times I yearn for such a function, usually when my char has 50 notes he wants to organise :shock:

It would be awesome if envelope titles could be set to editable or uneditable like notes. Then you could actually reuse some of them.

I'm really finding trashed ideas out of the bin now!

Yeah, perhaps we could rediscuss this? It's not a bad idea for those who are leader-types or note-based. I know it's just a time issue... But it's also important for those who empty envelopes and have the job of putting all the irrelevant notes back in!!! :D :lol: :o

What would also be cool, since we're using envelopes as books, is to be able to decide what order your book goes in. It's a facet of writing enjoyed by modern-day authors.

Maybe I'm weird, but having my book go Chapter I, Foreword, Chaper II irritates me. 8)

I'd love to see this come into play as well.

Also, in a related note (lol), I would also like to be able to tell if the things inside envelopes are notes, or more envelopes. Currently, you just see the title of the thing, but there's no distinction between notes and envelopes.

If the envelopes said things like "Envelope - The coolest notes you could ever hope to find" , that would be better than labeling both notes and envelopes. Having the notes say "Note --" would be reduntant and just add clutter.
Reality was never my strong point.
