#1015: Quire Feedback
Status: Completed

In Trello when I paste a list, it asks if I would like all on one card or as individual tasks.

Great time saver, for example, I have a list of to do's in an email from a client. When I paste it as a subtask, it's one long paragraph.

Hi Scott, Correct me if I am wrong: You would like Quire to recognize the list of to-dos you copied from an email as individual tasks when pasting into Quire? If so, what does your list of to-dos look like? A screenshot would be nice. And when you paste it into Quire, did you choose to paste as “multiple tasks” in the dialogue?

Will do this. Did before but complicated it by editing it. Example made it an html list (<ul> <li>...). Thanks.

No joy, Crystal.

Pasted into Notepad++ then coped into a new task. No.

pasted into Notepad++; added a space between lines so, for example the 2nd line in the email list became line 3 on Notepad++.

Copied into a new task: same result = a long paragraph.

Used ctrl -c and ctrl-v.

Hi Scott, Looking at the email screenshot, you would like each line to be a task in Quire after copy & paste? What you can do is copy & paste that part of email into a text editor (eg., Notepad, TextEdit) first, and then copy & paste it into Quire. Quire shall then recognize each line as a task.

Hi Scott, I just tried it on Windows 10, Chrome Version 67.0.3396.87, and it worked. Here are the steps:

  1. I copy the following in Notepad.

  1. I go to a Quire project, and press Ctrl+V to paste.

  2. In the dialogue that showed up, I make sure “multiple tasks” is selected.

  1. Then I click on Paste at the bottom of the dialogue.

  2. I see that each line has been added as a task.

Did you follow the same steps? What browser and its version are you using?

Hi Chrystal,

Attached is a screenshot of the pertinent part of the email I pasted into first a subtask than into a comment. I paste using ctrl-v so no dialogue. If I right click, the option is to paste. I'm using Windows 7.

I'm using Windows 7 64; Version 67.0.3396.79 (Official Build) (64-bit). Used Notepad this time (usually I use Notepad++).

The first couple of times there was a popup which indicated I could use shift + [ a right arrow icon] to open up and a left arrow to collapse.

Misunderstanding, I think, I tried a shift, a plus and the right arrow.

In any case after a repeat, the prompt stopped, even when I went to a different project and time frame.

I've also tried fresh even though no pop up prompt to use shift right arrow both before and after ctrl-v.

Nada. Sorry. I may be missing something but maybe it's a Windows 7 issue.

Scott
