Help with Documents? (Resolved)

Having a lot of fun planning and writing on Notebook, but I'm having two issues. Nothing too major, but figured it was worth bringing it to your attention.

Document Folder Management?

Having some trouble figuring out how to delete and move folders into other folders. Maybe I'm just missing a menu?

Remotely Deleting Documents?

This one's more my fault, if anything- I tried to convert a pretty big topic into a document. It worked, but I can't open it without Notebook crashing for me. Probably just me using Notebook on a toaster, but it'd be nice to be able delete documents without opening them.

Deleting a Folder:
Go into the Folder. Once in, click the green folder icon at the top. Not the name, but the actual folder. This allows you to edit the Folder, and down at the bottom is a line of red text for 'Delete this folder'. That should do it. The documents in the folder won't delete, but will go back to your default documents, without a folder.

Moving a Folder: Same process, except once in the editing menu, instead of clicking the red text, just pick another folder from the drop-down menu under 'Parent folder'.

Unfortunately, as far as I know, there's no way to delete a document without opening it to edit it first, but that's a question for @andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) . Some of your problem there is likely the size of the document.

Hope that helps!

Thank you! I'm on the mobile website, so it's a tad unclear what I can and can't tap on.

And yeah, the second issue is most definitely document size. Loading up 15k-ish messages in one document can't be good for the system-

Haha, oops! That's a great reason to add a way to delete documents without having to open them up. I'll get that added in tonight's release hopefully (but might end up in tomorrow's). Thanks for the assist, @Davadio!

There should now be a delete button in the modal that pops up whenever you click any document, next to the View/Edit buttons – so you can delete documents without opening them up first.

I'll also look into what I can do to make the editor work better with those extremely-long documents. ;)
