Moving index cards across chapters

Recommended Posts

I have Project->Sections folder->Chapter folders. Have created a lot of index cards for scenes that I need to move to other chapters. Hoping to do this by drag-and-drop rather than cut-and-paste?

 

In this context, Section means a sequence of chapters, all of which happen at the same location.

Hi rsaunder,

 

The cards are attached to sections of text, so dragging them will move the sections too. If that's not what you want, then you'll need to cut-and-paste the index card text.

That's not really what I was asking. I can drag cards around within a single document on the navigator, but not between documents.

I think I see the problem. Storyist insists that the lowest level items in the navigator be entire manuscripts. Chapters and sections are automatically placed within them. If you make each chapter a separate manuscript, there's no way to move index cards across them (feature request!)
