Create Copy of Existing CC

[eleanorsf]

Howdy,

 

Just joined, and on a Mac.

 

There's no easy way to copy an existing CC to create a new card for a new partner. Dan answered my "How to...?" question elsewhere, but the solution calls for a right click, not an option on my Mac.

 

Thanks, Eleanor

Apple + Click == Right Click

Thanks, will give it a try.

The method recommended called for copying one BBO CC file from the C drive to another blank file on the C drive, so right click is not my only problem on the Mac. I looked for BBO files using Finder, but nothing useful came up.

 

Still would like easy copy option on the Flash interface.

There is a way to do this, but it is not exactly "easy".

 

When you save a CC in the Flash version of BBO, you have the option of of associating the CC in question with a partner (ie a specific BBO member).

 

I am assuming you want to make a copy of an "unpartnered" CC.

 

Right now the only way to do this is to assign the original CC to a partner (any random BBO member will do). That will result in a new CC being created that is really just a copy of the old one. You can then remove the reference to that (fake) partner from your new CC and save it again.

 

You will then have a copy of the original.

 

Sorry there is currently no better (or more intuitive) way to do this. I will make a note to do something about this one day...

Actually, Control-Click == Right Click.
