Still using decker as a index card rolodex for information. I wondered about something:

Can we not only see all the cards of a deck at once, able to modify them there, maybe even move them around?

My brain keeps thinking of something like this... but in decker, with the ability to write on the cards, move them, delete, and possible refer to different cards easily...

Any thoughts, laughter?

It seems difficult to represent a bunch of full sized cards in a grid like this in a way where they're still legible and editable.

But depending on what you want as a user, there may be other ways to create something with a similar feeling.

To start, a way to see all your cards as names and thumbnails in a list format is with the Files > Cards menu. You can drag them within that menu to adjust their position in the deck.

But if being able to move "cards" around visually to organize thoughts about them (such as in the example photo) is something you'd enjoy, you could make a card with draggable widgets representing the relevant information cards, and put something like the search engine contraption on the screen so you can quickly navigate to the specific card you'd like to see full-size?

Just floating an idea. :)

Just to add to this, one way to programmatically obtain thumbnails of cards is to use app.render[]. You can then scale the resulting Image down and paste it onto a draggable canvas. If cards mostly contain the same structure, though, small thumbnails probably won't be very easy to distinguish at a glance.
