In reworking my project I would like to remove the container holding 6 notes. If I simply delete the container I am concerned I will also delete its contents with it. I did an experiment and it appears that yes, deleting the container deletes its contents.
Is there a way to remove the container while keeping the notes it contains? TIA
Yes, deleting a container deletes its contents.
Outline View makes it very easy to drag all the contents of a container elsewhere in the document.
Easily done by action code too. Let’s assume that /Projects/Projects X/ contains notes xx, yy and zz. We now realise notes xx and zz need to be in /Projects/Projects Y/. Assuming† Project Y is unique in the TBX, this stamp works to move a selection of ‘xx’ and ‘zz’ to a new container:
$Container="Project Y";
†. If Project Y is not a unique name use $Path and not $Name in this stamp.
Thank you.
Before I read your reply I experimented with dragging each note out of the container which also worked. Now, if there were more than 6 notes I’d not go that route, I’d see about using the outline view.
You could select them all, and drag them where they belong in the outline. You can select a range of notes by selecting the first note and then ⌘-clicking the final note.
