Is it possible to copy and paste entire sections in RW?

Madmaxneo · May 24th, 2015, 10:35 PM

I created some topics in the player synopsis under "World Almanac" but then later realized it would fit better in the "Mechanics Reference" section because they are system mechanics rules. I had to copy and paste the text from each snippet and recreate all the snippets from the ground up because I could find no copy/paste for the whole article (or whatever it is called). Is there an easier way to do this than what I am doing?

I don't believe there is an easy way to move things between the World Almanac and the Mechanics Reference. You can change categories within either the World Almanac or Mechanics Reference but I haven't seen a way to move between them.

The best workaround I know at this point for a bulk copy is to use the ctrl-M shortcut to merge all the snippets, the select all and copy-paste. It's one of the reasons why I'd like to have an export feature. Maybe once the web app is up and running, this will be a bit easier.

Some sort of bulk transactions need to be implemented. Adding a snippet to several topics or moving a bunch of topics to a new container or copying several snippets to another topic or or or....

This looks like yet more things to add to the software...
I can only imaging how overwhelmed they are with the things that already need to be done.
All this stuff I have been talking about in different threads is great and really needs to be implemented but I still want the calendar first...lol. Though out of all that stuff the calendar is probably the most difficult to implement.

Most of the requests in the forums have been stated and restated and restated for quite some time. I absolutely love that LoneWolf is a small company following their passions. I sometimes get frustrated that LoneWolf is a small company following their passions.

All good things come to those with infinite patience and immortality.

Hang in there with us, Rob. Keep at the slow but steady progress. Try to ignore how impossible and overwhelming your dreams are....

Yeah hang in there Rob and I hope to see you, Liz and the rest of the team again at Gencon this year!

Thank you, MaxSupernova. It's good to see it coming up periodically still. That means it's one of those items that folks new to the program are still interested in rather than it being a whim sometime in the past.

Now calendars on the other hand, they never come up anymore....

Yeah I wonder why that is?....
