Hello

I moved a card out of a substack into the main stack, now I cant move it back into the substack. Is this to be expected and I need to plan my Stacks better rather than arranging them "on the fly"? Still getting my head around how to "organise" a project.

Hi mrk,

that definitively should work!
How did you move your cards?

Through the IDE it should be as easy as moving it in the project browser by click-dragging it from one stack to the other.

I initially moved them using the Project Browser, so I though I would have been able to repeat the process.
Ahhh I think I've just seen the error in my ways. I was trying to move one card into another card not a sub stack (see image). My bad should have paid more attention to some of the tutorials.....
Also, is there a way to make the project browser stay on screen? It disappears. To get it back i need to deselect it from the menu, then select it again.

Glad you figured out the moving thing

I rarely use any version past 7, so not sure about the project browser in later versions. Some questions that come to mind are :
...Do you have multiple screens? Is it flying off one screen/monitor to another?
...Which Os are you using? (for instance, if it was linux or windows, you could see if its listed in the taskbar, right click on the button for it, and choose 'move', not sure about mac

Things like that are what I would check in the versions I use, again not real familiar with any past 7.

You could do that all *by script*:

1. copy card nameX of stack nameY to stack nameZ (see dictionary: copy)
2. delete card nameX of stack nameY, but check in handler "on deleteCard" of stackY whether the copy was successful (if there is a card nameX of stack nameZ ...)
