View Full Version : Defaults for each ixl file?

I tend to make my IXL files in groups. Say, all W3C Tech Reports, or all the IETF RFCs I use, etc. It would be really nice to be able to set the properties for all items in a given IXL file, but if it's possible I can't find how.

Default properties seems to apply to everything across all ixl files (except where a particular document overrides it). non-defaults seem to apply only to individual documents. If i select a bunch of documents and ask to set properties, i get a separate dialog box for each one, which is *really* tedious.

Can a way be added? Yes, I guess I might be able to write applescript for this, but it seems like an obvious enough thing to add, yes?

Developers! What say you? Fight for me on this, and I shall hold thy oath fulfilled!

Oh yeah, you didn't make an oath. Well, then I 'll just be really grateful and buy you some beers if we meet at a conference..

See this thread about setting properties for multiple entries at once.

Default properties are the properties given to new entries that you create. Changing the default properties does not affect any already existing entries that you have created.
