Hi Robin, > what is the difference between remove and delete?
Remove takes an item out of the current collection. Delete takes the item out of all collections, then puts it in the trash. Adding a context menu (or shift-drag) to move items instead of adding them sounds like a good enhancement to me. > I was imagining making some quick notes on a new task and realizing > that these notes needed to be items in their own right. By grouping > items and building relationships you open all sorts of possibilities. We've discussed adding a feature so that by adding special markup in the notes field, items could create sub-items in context. So, for instance, you could say: /event go to group camping trip meeting Oct. 1 /task buy a new tent This would be complicated to implement, so we cut this from our Preview design. But I'm curious if it would help you in situations like this. > Is there an open import/export spec yet? Would it be a Plugin? We call our plugins "parcels", documentation on how to write them exists but it's somewhat out of date. There's definitely an API for creating items (and new stamps) within a parcel, but the quirks aren't especially well documented. Now that Preview is being run through its final paces, the code base is less of a moving target, so we'll work hard on improving documentation. If you were interested in writing a parcel, I feel certain you'd be deluged with offers of coding help in IRC or on chandler-dev to make up for the shortage of accurate developer documentation.
