Once a selection is made, you can perform a number of operations on the selection by accessing the context menu on any item in the selection. These operations are described below.
Rearranging pages
To rearrange notebook pages, select the thumbnails you wish to move, then drag them to the new location in the notebook. The page thumbnails will spread out to make room for the thumbnails you are dragging so you know where they will be moved to before you move them.
You can cancel the drag at any time by pressing the Escape key while you are dragging.
Cut, copy, paste, and delete pages
After you have made a selection of page thumbnails, you can cut, copy, or delete them by:
- selecting an option from the Edit menu
- selecting an option from the page thumbnail’s context menu (applies only to cut and copy)
- or using standard shortcut keys
If a page thumbnail has been cut or copied to the pasteboard, you can also paste it using the context menu of the page thumbnails view.
Joining and splitting pages
Storme provides a facility for joining and splitting notebook pages or an arbitrary selection of notebook pages.
Join pages
To join notebook pages, select the notebook pages you wish to join. If any notebook page already contains two pages, the join operation will be disabled. If you are attempting to join a selection of more than two notebook pages, those notebook pages that already contain two pages will be ignored.
Once selected, choose the Join Pages context menu item on one of the selected thumbnails. Storme will go through the list of selected notebook pages in order, joining every two notebook pages that can be joined.
Split pages
Splitting notebook pages works similarly to joining except in reverse. Select the notebook pages you wish to split. If any notebook page only contains a single page, the split operation will be disabled. If you are attempting to split a selection of more than one notebook page, those notebook pages that already contain only a single page will be ignored.
Once selected, choose the Split Pages context menu item on one of the selected thumbnails. Storme will go through the list of selected notebook pages in order, splitting every notebook pages that can be split.
Sharing pages
After making a selection of notebook pages, simply choose the sharing method from the Content > Share menu or the Share context menu, and all selected notebook pages will be shared.
Open pages in new notebook
You can open in a new notebook any selection of notebook pages from the page thumbnails view by choosing the Open in new Notebook menu item from the context menu of a selected thumbnail. This will make a copy of the selected notebook pages and add them to a new notebook.
