1. To create a new reference, I usually select an existing reference (reference A) in the folder where I want the new reference, and then either click "New reference" to create an empty form of the same reference type, or open the sample and click "create duplicate" to copy it. Either way, when I save and close my new reference (reference B), I find reference A selected and at the top of the reference list. To see my new reference B, I have to scroll up and select it manually. I would prefer reference B to be selected and visual.
2. When using a reference found by a search or lookup as the starting point for creating a duplicate, the new reference(s) always end up in one specific folder, not where I want them to be, so they have to be moved afterwards. It does not matter which folder I have selected before I start the search, nor does it matter where the reference found by the search resides, the new reference always ends up in the same folder. And while writing this, I realized why: It ends up in the first folder, sorted alphabetically by name. My folders weren't sorted alphabetically, but the only one starting with an A was "picked". I would rather prefer new references to end up in the folder selected in the folder list.
Thanks, Ove
Both suggestions will be
Both suggestions will be implemented in 7.13 release. Thanks.
Categories for new references
I've noticed that whenever I create a new reference, it automatically assigns it to the same categories as which ever reference happens to be highlighted in the main References window. Is there a reason for this? I happen to find it frustrating because I have to uncheck all the categories on the new reference. I would rather it just start clean, with no category listing.
When creating a new record,
When creating a new record, it is likely you want to put it into the same categories as the current one. In version 7.13, we will add a Clear button (Ctrl+J). So user can easily clear categories selection if they don't the new record to be in any category. Thanks.
Is it possible to add this
Is it possible to add this "Clear selection" button (Ctrl+J) also to the special categorize window available in the reference and notes modul (context menu after right clicking on a record in the main window). Thanks, Lars.
I don't think this command
I don't think this command will be used often there. If you want to clear the Categories field for selected references, you can go to "Tools | Utility | Global Edit". Select the option "Clear the text of field" and select "Categories" field. Thanks.
I agree, it's not absolutely
I agree, it's not absolutely necessary but would be convenient. I just didn't understand why I can add categories without having to open a reference, but have to open the reference if I want to clear all categories from that reference. As there is a categorize feature available from the main window I think it would be more logical if it included the possibility to clear all categories.
Lars, on the live preview
Lars, on the live preview pane, you can go to the "Categories" field and delete everything in there without openning a reference.
Great, I didn't realize
Great, I didn't realize that. Thanks.
