Hi everyone,
Is there a way to copy/paste notebooks ? Until now I export a notebook in .jex in order to import it again (equal copy/paste for me !).
Multiple selection of notebooks would be great too...
Thanks
Hello,
What use case are you thinking about ? copy/paste from where to where?
If you meant notebook duplication, you may find this topic interesting, even though there does not seem to be a solution yet.
@oleole39,
Thank you very much for the answer and the link : it's exactly my issue.
There are a lot of different situations where it's usefull to be able to copy directly (copy/paste) a notebook with all his sub-notebooks and all their notes (inside in another notebook, in the same profile or to another one).
So there's no solution at this moment (except do use the jex exportation-importation) ? Sorry to ear that because it's a very important need for me.
For example I have nearly 2000 sub-notebooks into a notebook. I need to give to a friend only a part of them (just less than 40 sub-notebooks on the 2000). I prefer to copy/paste directly 40 times than to export-import jex 40 times (and re-organise them at the right position). I still prefer to copy/paste directly the 40 sub-notebooks thant to export all the notebook with the 2000 sub-notebooks and delete after one by one the 2000 - 40 = 1960 sub-notebook non needed !!!
I hope someone will do such a pluggin in a near future...
With for example a copy mode with checkboxes in front of all the subnotebooks you want to copy, in order to do a multiple copy/paste in one time...
Thanks again.
To give a realistic example : I lost 3 days to import/export .jex when only less than 1 hours would be needed with a copy/paste of notebooks, enabled !
Like others, this functionality (copy-paste and multiple copy) is an absolute priority in my wish list...

This is an important situation. The success of an application is determined by how flexible it is and how many options it provides to the user!

Clearly it is important to you and to OP, but I'm not sure it ranks very high on importance to most users. OP's use case seems fairly fringe to me:

I'm talking about flexibility here. What matters is whether the relevant feature or setting is present in the application. The number of people using it is a separate issue. Also, do you have statistical data or have you conducted a survey to speak so definitively? I don't understand.
More options do usually go hand in hand with more complexity, more code maintenance, and more problems. Therefor not everybody will agree with this statement. I would rather say : The success of an application is determined by how stable and reliable it is ! For additional functionality (beyond a certain range) use different software. In serious engineering it goes like this: says the man "I want faster, better, cheaper", answers the engineer "okay, pick two".

Are you a programmer? Have you ever designed any applications? On what basis, what experience are you speaking like this? I didn't understand what you're trying to achieve by speaking without asking what I mean by "more options," without listening to my suggestions. Could it be an attempt to grab the attention of developers, perhaps?
I wish you Merry Xmas too !

This is irrelevant and off-topic. It is fine to disagree but please don't argue and bring religion into it. Closing this as there is no need for this to continue.
