Glad I looked at this email chain. I find all the discussions so interesting and helpful. And we all have such varying computer backgrounds. As I'm not at all sure how to edit default menus its good we have several options to choose from. Thanks to Tony for giving me a way to change categories that was easy for me to follow and understand. I'm in the edit deck section frequently, and I had been doing it card by card but followed his directions and wow - very good!! Thanks again.

The text fields would be editable. So if I clicked on a field with 'Philosophy::Zen' and I del'd a ':', the entire Philosophy::Zen category would be renamed Philosophy:Zen. If instead, I removed the entire '::Zen', it would be merged with the 'Philosophy' category. If I filled in a new field, a new empty category would be created. And so on. Something like that is indeed what I planned for 2.x. Thanks for the suggestion!

There is no menu command to do this, as far as I can tell, and it's absurd to go through every card and manually edit it to the new category name. Neither does the website documentation cover this task - at least, the section on organizing cards doesn't seem to, and I haven't seen it anywhere else. I've been doing it by directly editing default.mem, but I understand that editing it is considered to be ill-advised and risky. Am I mistaken ab * about that? Is there some better standard way to rename a category? (Besides either editing default.mem or exporting, doing a mass search-and-replace, and re-importing) -- gwern --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups mnemosyne-proj-users group.
