From: Trigg.pa
Subject: NoteCards 1.3k: NC.CloseNoteCards takes two unused args
165.lm Lanning: Cards should have global link operations
*	I found that I was doing the following rather:  going though a set of cards, assigning the Linktype for each link in the cards.  This was really tedious.  A possible way to make this easier (and address the previous two complaints):  how about an item in the title menu called ForAllLinks (ugh - you can come up with a better name, no?).  When you pick this item, you are then given a choice of what to do to each item:  ChangeLinkType, DesignateFileboxes, whatever. It then walks through the card, acting as if you had picked that item for that Link.
8.lm DMR, Cole: Deleting lots of cards should not cause a dramatic slow down.

211.lu Trigg: NCP Need way to specify sketch location to NCP.LocalGlobalLInk, NCP.ChangeLoc, etc.
There seems to be no way to use NCP.LocalGlobalLink to insert a link in the substance of a Sketch card to point to a Text card.  NCP.LocalGlobalLink seems to want the <fromloc> arg to be a position in a text card (message says that my source card is "not an existing card or non-TEXT substance).

What I would like to do is to (create POSITION...) or in some way specify the object position in my sketch card for the anchor

FileBox needs

163. hh Lanning: FileBox default should not be forced fileing.
*	The insistance of Notecards that everthing be in a Filebox is annoying.  Most of the time I don't care about Fileboxes.  I think it unlikely that an author would come to a new Notefile knowing the final organization.  Better would be to not worry if a card isn't in a Filebox (they end up in ToBeFiled anyway), but to provide some speedy way to walk through all the cards in ToBeFiled.
200.mh Kelley: FileBoxes should be demoted to Library status
Text Card needs
